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 did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.
