After ten or twelve years you can only play something so long and then you start to parody it.
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.
But anyhow my stance is for the troops and I support all our children we send over there but I don't respect people who send them, simple as that.
But there is no withdrawal, but with tobacco there is terrible withdrawal, it is almost impossible for a lot of people. I did , I went cold turkey, they never had any patches in those days but grass was not difficult, alcohol not difficult, but tobacco - oh my god.
Communism has kind of been dead for a few years now. They are in the mind set of that's where their living, back in the Vietnam war I guess.
I admit the last couple of years shows were not up to par.
I could never understand why anybody would take LSD for recreation. It's like, I think I'm going to take out my appendix. That would be nice this weekend.
I did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.
I didn't write the book to sell the book, but to tell my experiences.
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 have just paid an enormous amount of money for a DELL laptop and its a like giving somebody a 747. I can barely get on the internet to get my mail.
I liked Dallas better because it was more deceptive, you could do more with it.
I think JR would make a better President than the one we have now.
I think they could of recast the children, I heard of people wanting to do something like that. That would be a nice little show to do but you know that show was of the 80's, I don't think the audience mind set is in that direction any longer.
I was sad to see anybody leave, we had a very nice family on that show. I was very sad to see momma go , Victoria and especially Linda. My god that was my wife on the show, in fact my wife calls her wife.
I was shot when I think it was number one. That was the catalyst for the interest in the show. Certainly it went on for a long time after that but that's what really kicked it off. Of course a lot of people watched it just because of the novelty of the situation.
I'm for all of our young men and women who are serving in this conflict, it is not their fault they were sent there.
I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding.
I'm not well versed on the verbiage of the internet.
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.
In essence, next to being born which I don't remember at all (I mean I suppose I could trace it back if I were to try), my first acid trip was the most illuminating experience of my life.
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.
Linda Gray and I see each other probably twice a month for lunch or dinner with my wife and her boyfriend. We travel often together, we went down to Palm Springs this last weekend to kick off a Charity Benefit for Dennis Weaver who we've both worked with before and who is a big television star here.
LSD was such a profound experience in my life that it changed my pattern of life and my way of thinking and I could not exclude it.
Marijuana you can give up, Iv given it up for fifteen years now and it never occurs to me to smoke it anymore.
My definition of a redundancy is an air-bag in a politician's car.
No no there wasn't any planned 14th season, we all saw the writing on the wall. The ratings had been going down and so fourth, that curve goes on every show and in everybody's life.
Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake.
There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.
There was discussion of it at one time when Barbara left the first time and I thought it would be a good idea but I think mother didn't want to do that just because, for one thing her memory was failing her somewhat. It was a taxing role to be the queen mother of that whole situation.
Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets.
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.
Well, I decided to stop. And I did. I stopped smoking, and I stopped speed at the same time.
You couldn't smoke grass on the set of Dallas, I didn't want to do that, I was perfectly satisfied with my champagne.
You know Hollywood is a weird and wonderful place, I didn't know I Dream of Jeanie had been cancelled after 5 years until I went back to go on the lot to pick up some clothes and things I had in my dressing room.
