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.

After ten or twelve years you can only play something so long and then you start to parody it.

Marijuana you can give up, I've given it up for fifteen years now and it never occurs to me to smoke it anymore.

I have been married for 58 years to the same woman. Our secret? Separate bathrooms.

Our Ewing family dining room scenes would take forever, and Patrick (Duffy) and I would invariably get into a food fight. Barbara would yell, 'Stop it! I can't stand it!' But she liked it, too.

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.
