I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.
Val Kilmer
Image
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
Image
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they've made billions.
Val Kilmer
Image
I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.

Image
Again, in Wag the Dog, war has to be declared by an act of congress. But if you go to war, you don't have to declare war. You're just at war and we did that, which is not legal.

Image
I'm very wary of news on television.
Val Kilmer
Image
Mark Twain created a new type of literature and not a lot of people can say that. Not a lot of people can say they're absolutely original and completely self-made.

Image
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.
Val Kilmer
Image
Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.

Image
I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.

Image
Acting is not a science. Anybody who believes that their success exists in relation to their goals is deluding themselves unless you think of a career in terms of financial goals. I have nothing against Tom Cruise, but he must have a large capacity to deal with the business side of movies.
Val Kilmer
Image
It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.

Image
I went to public school in L.A., so I felt like I'd been in a coma for three years. I woke up, and moved to New York.

Image
One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
Val Kilmer
Image
I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind.

Mark Twain was an artist working at the highest level. He wrote a book, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that put America on the world stage for literature. It's almost as if, if you start reading that book as a racist, you cannot finish it and still be a racist.

Image
I fell in love with the land and with the very old fashioned idea of leaving a physical legacy for my children. A stunning place, with a magnificent forest of trees, and a magnificent river.

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?

It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.
