I've travelled a huge amount, but almost all of it has been through work. I spent five years stationed in London in the special services of the American Air Force, producing and directing shows for the troops, which I absolutely loved.

I barely watch TV apart from the news. Most of it is rubbish. There's all this reality nonsense and dross. I think there's a market for a well-produced, well-written melodrama like 'Dallas.' It's pure entertainment.

Actors can't retire. What would they do?

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.'

There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.

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.

A sad figure (Bush) ' not too well educated, who doesn't get out of America much. He's leading the country towards Fascism.
