Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
My definition of a redundancy is an air-bag in a politician's car.
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 Dall...
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 wi...
There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.

My credo is etched on my mirror in my bathroom and I see it when I brush my teeth in the morning. It says "Don't worry Be Happy Feel Good." When you see that first thing and you reflect on it the...
It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto, which is: Don't wo...

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...
I was born with success. Lucky for me I am able to handle it. Also, I damn well deserve it!

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 t...
