arm arms core exercise exercises keeping lie lift morning strength stretching weights
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.
born damn handle success
I was born with success. Lucky for me I am able to handle it. Also, I damn well deserve it!
fifteen given
Marijuana you can give up, Iv given it up for fifteen years now and it never occurs to me to smoke it anymore.
caught common form receiving treatment
As J.R. I could get away with anything - bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer. I do want everyone to know that it is a very common and treatable form of cancer. I will be receiving treatment while working on the new 'Dallas' series.
difference
They probably thought that that was the (astronauts') headquarters, ... I don't think it would have made any difference if it was in Calcutta.
love miserable
Oh, he's such a miserable crud. I love him. I really do.
bad bit equal famous feels hated loved major people success
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.
believe considered firmly hot nations peace places research springs
If you do your research on hot springs all over the world, they're usually places of peace. People, even in warring nations and so forth, they'll go and live in peace together around the hot springs, which were always considered medicinal. I firmly believe in water therapy.
bring competition looked maybe million shows time
There used to be three networks, and now there are 40 million networks. There's a lot more competition out there, too. We would bring in 27 million people. Now, they're lucky if they have 17. I looked at the ratings, for the first time in 25 years, just to see, and there were 130 shows on. There used to be maybe 30.
Well, I motorcycle, I hunt, fish, I do all that. I keep busy. I'm never bored. I've never been bored.
anybody nice understand
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.
memorable dallas moments
We did 356 'Dallas' episodes between 1978 and 1991. The most memorable moment for me happened in 1980 when I got shot at the end of the third series. The rest is a blur.
air years special
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.
cousin brother uncles
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.'
