I exercise every morning. I do light weights - 5lb and 10lb arm exercises - and then lie and lift my arms and legs. It's all about keeping core strength. I do a lot of stretching too.
Major success feels a bit like a coronation. Like I'd become a king. I was one of the most famous people in the world, loved and hated in equal measure. I couldn't see anything bad with it. It made me a happy person.
I never travel without my Stetson, but the more I wear it the more I realise that no one wears hats any more. When I was a kid everybody wore hats, especially in Texas, but I get off the plane in Dallas now and I'm the only guy with a hat. It's amazing.
Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets.
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.
My definition of a redundancy is an air-bag in a politician's car.
Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
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 did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.
I'd like to play Matt Damon's daddy. He's a wonderful actor, I really admire him, and I'd like to play his dad one day.
