I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34." ― Larry Hagman Topic(s): Birthday More From Larry Hagman "Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets." "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." "I exercise every morning. I do light weights – 5lb and 10lb arm exercises – and then lie and lift my arms and legs. It’s all about keeping core strength. I do a lot of stretching too."
