I Was Born With Success. Lucky For Me I Am Able To Handle It. Also, I Damn Well Deserve It!

Well Yes So Far, I Was Recently In Germany And They Had Me Do Six Book Signings A Day And That Was Too Much So I Had Them Cut It Down To About Three. It Becomes Taxing At Times But Its A Lot Of Fun And You Meet A Lot Of Nice People.

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.'

Well I Think They Broke The Mould When They Made Me And Being Humble Is One Of My Great Assets.

People Who Are Living Donors Who Give Kidneys. You Can't Give A Heart And You Can't Give A Liver, But You Can Sure Give A Lung - Well, Kidneys, Anyhow. And That's Where The Main Part Of This Whole Thing Is - One Out Of Every Eight People, I Believe, Is Going To Have Some Kind Of Kidney Problem During Their Lifetime.

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.

Later On When It Became A Routine It Was Not As Exciting I'll Admit That. The First Three Years Were Wonderful, The Rest Were Just Money Making And Having Fun.

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.

'dallas' Hit A Chord Back In The Late Seventies And Eighties Because It Was The Age Of Greed: Here You Have This Unapologetic Character Who Is Mean And Nasty And Ruthless And Does It All With An Evil Grin. I Think People Related To Jr Back Then Because We All Have Someone We Know Exactly Like Him. Everyone In The World Knows A Jr.

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.

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.

I Don't Watch A Lot Of Television. Sports And News, That's It.

I Have Thousands And Thousands Of Hats. Some Are The Most Outrageous Hats In The World. They Are My Disguise. I Hide Beneath Them.

I Guess It Was But I Think Peoples Morality Has Changed. It's Gotten More Liberal And More Diverse And Even In A Sense Much More Fundamental, You Take The Fundamental Religious Right In This Country, Its Got To Go Back About 50 Years.

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.

I Often Ask People If They Would Like To Give Their Organs When They Pass On, And They Say "well, I'm Not So Sure, I Don't Know." And I Said, "well, Would You Accept One If You Needed One?" "well, Yeah, Sure." And I Say "well, There You Go - Where Do You Get Them From?".
