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.'

I'm sure it is, I'm not for any kind of war, we've been engaged in several wars since the second world war and we lost in Korea, we lost in Vietnam, they are political wars, they have nothing to do with any real threat, nor does this one.

We've got to find another way of producing energy.

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.

Before I tried LSD, I'd been going to a psychologist for a couple of years. I found out about success that you have to fight for it a lot, then when you achieve it, you can't give up the fight.

I liked Dallas better because it was more deceptive, you could do more with it.

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?
