I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding.

Barbara Eden is the most beautiful girl in the world.

There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.

My definition of a redundancy is an air-bag in a politician's car.

Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets.

I went to a military school between the ages of six and 12 and later into the air force. You learn discipline and strength of character.

Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake.

When we started the show, 'Dallas' was known as the city where JFK was assassinated. By the end it was known as JR's home town.

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.

I want to get down to the nuts and bolts of what is actually going to change to lift New Zealands economic performance.

I don't look at the work of my contemporaries very much; I tend to look at pictures by dead artists. It's much easier to get near their paintings.

When I was a kid, I always saw these pictures of a man called Bob Gordon with a baritone saxophone, who I understood was my father. Turns out he wasn't. He was my mother's first husband.

I'm so grateful. I worked on some really quality projects as a kid and I was really lucky for the opportunities I got.

As I change my thoughts, the world around me changes.

Last year we drove across the country...We had one cassette tape to listen to on the entire trip... I don't remember what it was.

Wheresoever we seek our own, there we fall from love.

Poetry has to be something more than a conception of the mind. It has to be a revelation of nature. Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.
