changed exclude experience life pattern profound thinking
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.
glue held nice rock woman women wonderful
She was the rock of Dallas. She was just a really nice woman and a wonderful actress. She was kind of the glue that held the whole thing together.

barbara dining family food invariably liked room scenes stand
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.
love miserable
Oh, he's such a miserable crud. I love him. I really do.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
travel kids texas
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.
kale green cucumbers
I have this wonderful personal chef who sources and stocks all my organic produce and I basically live on five smoothies a day. I'm totally vegan. I blend this green concoction with kale, cucumber, broccoli, string beans, avocado. My protein comes from protein powder. There is absolutely no milk, butter, cheese.
reality thinking news
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.
