Being successful doesn't change things. There's a painful, lonely part of acting because you're always waiting. The thing about being a performer is doing, and when you have to wait, it's the same pain as when you're starting out and have no job. You think that thing will go away, but it doesn't. It just shifts. I remember Robert Duvall saying that being a successful actor is all about finding interesting hobbies, because if you don't have the right hobby, you die. It's very hard to maintain interest. Most actors don't. They become a little cliched. You learn how to do tricks and stuff.

more Val Kilmer posters ...
- At the time that they were filming "The Doors", Oliver Stone considered Kilmer for the part of Alexander in his long delayed film project on Alexander the Great. Kilmer appears in the film as King Philip instead.
- During the sled riding scene in Willow (1988), he can be seen wearing a black glove on his left hand.
- Has a reputation as being difficult to work with, evidenced in part by "The Island of Dr. Moreau" director's promise never to work with him again.
