I Don't Make Any Pretense About Being

I Don't Think Of My Life As A Cliche, But I'm A Cliche Eccentric. Complete With A Strange Name - I Mean, Who's Named Val? How Many Vals Do You Know? I Mean, Really?

If You Know Where Your Spiritual Center Is, And You Neglect It, Peace Will Always Allude You.

I Probably Complained More When I Was Younger. The Movie Industry Can Be Frustrating But I Think Sometimes I Could Have Been More Helpful, Approaching A Film As A Partnership Rather Than Being Critical Of A Director's Ignorance. I Wasn't Sensitive To The Fact That It's Very Hard To Direct.

I Love Acting, And Doing It Well Matters To Me.

I Learned A Long Time Ago That Place Matters To Me, On Many Levels, And Maybe More Than It Should, But It Is Generally Counter-productive For Me To Resist It.
