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.

My father was raised in the mountains of New Mexico, and he picked cotton for a dollar a day. He was working for the family from the time he was 7.

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?

I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.

Give me the compliments. I love compliments. I was born modest, but it wore off.

The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.

There's nothing good about divorce.
