Val Kilmer's quotes

The only time it's ever like work is when you don't like what you've done.
I've done a lot of jobs that were just for money or were just the best things around at the time.
"It's the most fulfilling thing I can do and get paid for." - On theatre.
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.
"Every day was such a trial. It was a unique kind of hell. All the audience knows is the end result - and that's as it should be, but the experience of making it is quite different." - On filming Tombstone (1993).
I'd be in a bad western on a good horse any day of the week. It's such a fantastic genre of film.
Poetry is a very subjective and intimate expression. It's literally your heartbeat. Your rhythm. The song of your soul. It's superconcentrated. It's a dense piece of yourself.
"It made me consider time differently, because my year ends when the year ends. I blame my birth date for being hung up about time."- On his New Year's Eve birthday.
"For my audition, I did a monologue from one of my plays. I couldn't find anything contemporary that they wouldn't have seen hundreds of times before. I didn't know what I was doing, but it worked." - On his Juilliard audition.
Big movies are fun and it's great to fly on private jets and make a lot of money and all the things that are connected with Hollywood, but they take a lot of your own life.
It hurts. I miss my kids. I miss my kids in so many ways that I can't explain.
[Prior to his divorce from Joanne Whalley]: "It's great. Instead of going out to parties, I go home to my family."
I would do a bad western with a good horse any day of the week.
(On his youthful drug experimentation) If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, "The cops, the cops, the cops . . ." I was what you call the buzz kill.
(2011) I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind. The physicists now are starting to catch up with artists or the witch doctor, the healer, because now they can prove mathematically that everything's just a point of view.
Why has Amazon taken over Hollywood in five minutes? Because they only [have] one objective: make the customer happy.
