There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.
My definition of a redundancy is an air-bag in a politician's car.
Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake.
Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets.
We did 356 'Dallas' episodes between 1978 and 1991. The most memorable moment for me happened in 1980 when I got shot at the end of the third series. The rest is a blur.
I have been married for 58 years to the same woman. Our secret? Separate bathrooms.
My credo is etched on my mirror in my bathroom and I see it when I brush my teeth in the morning. It says, "Don't worry, Be Happy, Feel Good." When you see that first thing, and you reflect on it, the rest of the day seems to glide by pretty well.
It always annoys me when stars grumble about fans coming up to them in the street. I love it. These young stars today with all their airs and graces, they need to remember it is an honour and a privilege to make money from acting. How hard is it?
I went to a military school between the ages of six and 12 and later into the air force. You learn discipline and strength of character.
When we started the show, 'Dallas' was known as the city where JFK was assassinated. By the end it was known as JR's home town.
I think that everybody in the world, whatever colour or creed, has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere. Whether it is a father, uncle, cousin or brother, everybody can identify with JR and that certainly had something to do with the success of 'Dallas.'
Five hundred thousand Americans die from tobacco poisoning every year, and it's legal. I don't know, it just that's the - you can't stop giving people organs because of bad behavior. If you keep on having bad behavior, then of course they'll deny you a liver, or whatever you need.
Barbara Eden is the most beautiful girl in the world.
I got to a point where kind of a oneness with everything and a great compassion. It teaches you compassion. It was a great, enlightening experience, a spiritual experience. Not particularly religious, but spiritual. It was great. I can still go there.
I didn't write the book to sell the book, but to tell my experiences.
I think JR would make a better President than the one we have now.
Don't you find that the more you know, the more you don't know and can't ever learn because there's too much stuff out there?
Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
Good acting is all in the writing. If it isn't on the page, then it really won't make any difference. You cannot act on force of personality alone.
Oil rich boys . . . had a nice, sweet smile but when you finished meeting with them your socks were missing and you hadn't even noticed they'd taken your boots.
I was born with success. Lucky for me I am able to handle it. Also, I damn well deserve it!
It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto, which is: Don't worry, be happy, feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan.
I have this wonderful personal chef who sources and stocks all my organic produce and I basically live on five smoothies a day. I'm totally vegan. I blend this green concoction with kale, cucumber, broccoli, string beans, avocado. My protein comes from protein powder. There is absolutely no milk, butter, cheese.
I don't watch a lot of television. Sports and news, that's it.
At that time I was making the largest salary known on television and I didn't want to see it die because those were the years paying off when I wasn't making anything.
