| MARK VALLEY QUOTES |
- "Getting involved with [an Army] theater program would have been like joining a military tactics program at Juilliard. That's not why I was there."
- "From James Spader I am learning what to take more seriously, from William Shatner I am learning what not to take so seriously, and from Candice Bergen I am learning the wisdom to know the difference."
- "I went to West Point for two reasons: A good education and the challenge. I felt that if I could make it through the demands of those four years, I would be able to do whatever I wanted in life."
- "It's amazing how all Mustangs, (Volkswagen) Beetles and Fiats end up in California. It's like they come here to retire, live out their old age."
