Jim Thompson understood something about the serial killer before the psychology caught up to it, which is that they are detached to it and they do want to get caught. – Val Kilmer
It’s fun to look at people that are so good at acting that aren’t actors, like David Bowie creating a mystique about rock n’ roll. I’ve listened to ‘Ziggy Stardust’ as much as any rock n’ roll fan – I don’t really know what it’s about, but it sure is fun to think about David Bowie as this mad creation. – Val Kilmer
My children have absolutely no interest in my fame. They’re very sophisticated, and they have a spiritual perspective on material things because we go to church. – Val Kilmer
I just don’t think I’ve ever been comfortable at public functions and selling myself as an entity. – Val Kilmer
The Secret Service is a strange group. They don’t really have a leader. It’s not set up like a military. Each one is supposed to be able to act like a leader when something comes up. – Val Kilmer
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. – Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television. – Val Kilmer
It’s the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that’s fun to watch. But it isn’t usually about acting. – Val Kilmer
I don’t watch television, but I saw ‘The Office’ by accident. I thought it was so sophisticated, the Victorian love story, and so bold. We’d do anything, all of us, to not work in that environment, and then I’m sitting there watching hours of it. – Val Kilmer
When you’re young, you’re always concerned about how you’re being seen and how you’re being criticized. – Val Kilmer
Youth is seen as everything. You don’t know anything when you’re young. It’s great being older, just having a more balanced perspective. I wake up and realise that what seemed to be important last year no longer is. I’m increasingly grateful for every day. – Val Kilmer
Daryl Hannah likes to goof around with fashion, but she does have pretty impeccable taste. – Val Kilmer
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. – Val Kilmer
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
There was no one around called ‘Val’ when I was young, so I wanted to be John or Bill. Now I like it. – Val Kilmer
I respect people who can do both careers, like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it, but I just don’t know when they sleep. – Val Kilmer
