Larry Hagman : (7) " I think that everybody in the world, whatever colour or creed, has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere.

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. " - Larry Hagman " 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.

If it isn’t on the page, then it really won’t make any difference. You cannot act on force of personality alone. " - Larry Hagman " I have thousands and thousands of hats. Some are the most outrageous hats in the world. They are my disguise. I hide beneath them. " - Larry Hagman " Actors can’t retire. What would they do? " - Larry Hagman
