More quotes by Val Kilmer
I'm not just an actor born in L.A. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clichéd than that.
Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Val Kilmer
There are only three reasons to do a movie: the cast, the director, the role. Like I say, you live in a minute of screen time, but to prepare for the minute takes much more than a day. You'd better be excited about what those moments are, even if they're the hardest moments. Or the smallest.
Val Kilmer
You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced.
Val Kilmer
If you play Mark Twain and he's not funny, you are definitely not playing Mark Twain. That was the biggest challenge, in some ways. Writing and performing jokes that can come out of that brilliant delivery system he constructed: the friendly, avuncular truth-teller.
Val Kilmer
There are some directors I should have worked with. I`d like to have worked with Robert Altman - I turned him down a couple of times when I was younger. My thing now is if it`s a good director I`ll never say no - I`m just gonna say yes from now on.
Val Kilmer
A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is a voice of truth and a voice of equality and a voice of tolerance. Which means he is a voice of love.
Val Kilmer
I probably complained more when I was younger. The movie industry can be frustrating but I think sometimes I could have been more helpful, approaching a film as a partnership rather than being critical of a director's ignorance. I wasn't sensitive to the fact that it's very hard to direct.
Val Kilmer
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
Val Kilmer
Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
Val Kilmer
I never cultivated a personality. Almost everyone who is really famous has cultivated a personality.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is as big as America. He really is.
Val Kilmer
There is no normal life, there's just life. You live it.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is a universe, and he is also a kind of American authority figure. He can say things to America that other people can't say, in a way that can truly be heard.
Val Kilmer
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
Val Kilmer
I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.
Val Kilmer
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.
Val Kilmer
Performing in a live theater is absolutely unbeatable. It is something I have done my entire life and have a gift, it seems, for sharing thoughts live.
Val Kilmer
There was such a relationship between the buffalo and the American Indian - the Indians would eat them, live inside their pelts, use every part of the body. There was almost no separation between the people and the animals.
