I was six when we came to this country. When I was 14 or so, I still had a lot of trouble with it.

I changed my diet completely. You know, I'm from Cleveland, so I've always loved sausage and red meat and all of that stuff, so now I find myself not eating any of that, no red meat, no sausage. It's basically a vegetarian diet with a little bit of fish. I drink quarts of carrot juice, quarts of cranberry juice, endless amounts of water and nothing else.

Meanwhile, politics is about getting a candidate in front of the public as a star, politics as rock'n'roll, politics as a movie.

I have my own religious bond with the God in my own head.

Cigarettes, cigarettes were much tougher. Booze was tough And I had a real drinking problem before as we discovered in the hospital really, but the cigarettes are much tougher and to tell you the truth.

I just wanted to make sure that what I write is what appears on screen, to not have some idiot change it on its way to the screen.

Fact is we went on to do other things. But we still wanted to do our success like rock'n'roll stars.
