More quotes by Val Kilmer

New Mexico is my home. It has never been anything but home. The ranch has rivers and canyon, everything imaginable. I can ride, hunt and fish. At the same time, ranching is grueling, difficult work. It`s like acting, to be successful at it, you have to work hard. I take it very seriously.
Val Kilmer
I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

Val Kilmer
So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.
Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Val Kilmer
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing back in Los Angeles, but when you look out there... How can you complain when you see a whale cresting, matter-of-factly, as you make your breakfast?
Val Kilmer
If you know where your spiritual center is, and you neglect it, peace will always allude you.
Val Kilmer
Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.
Val Kilmer
Unless a Western's made money - doesn't matter who made the money, doesn't matter what the subject is - if the last one didn't make any money, you can't make another one for a four-year period. Westerns more than any genre.
Val Kilmer
My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.
Val Kilmer
It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is as big as America. He really is.
