    1. I'm going to miss you. You were a smart, challenging, brave, uber-creative firecracker. There's not a lot left of those. I hope to see you up there in the heavens when I eventually get there.

    Michael Mann
    1. While working with Val on Heat I always marvelled at the range, the brilliant variability within the powerful current of Val's possessing and expressing character. After so many years of Val battling disease and maintaining his spirit, this is tremendously sad news.

    Joel Schumacher
    1. I pray I don't work with [Kilmer] again … we had two weeks where he did not speak to me, but it was bliss.

    John Frankenheimer
    1. I don't like Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic and I don't want to be associated with him ever again.

    Irwin Winkler
    1. Some people expect an actor to be like a wooden Indian, to do what he's told and never open his mouth.
    2. But Val has lots of great ideas and he should be listened to.

    Val Kilmer
    1. When certain people criticise me for being demanding, I think that's a cover for something they didn't do well. I think they're trying to protect themselves.
    2. I believe I'm challenging, not demanding, and I make no apologies for that.
    3. In an unflinching attempt to empower directors, actors and other collaborators to honor the truth and essence of each project, an attempt to breathe Suzukian life into a myriad of Hollywood moments, I had been deemed difficult and alienated the head of every major studio.
    4. I have behaved poorly. I have behaved bravely. I have behaved bizarrely to some. I deny none of this and have no regrets because I have lost and found parts of myself that I never knew existed.
    5. You also can't hear anything and after a while people stop talking to you, it's very isolating. It was a struggle for me to get a performance past the suit, and it was frustrating until I realised that my role in the film was just to show up and stand where I was told to.
