And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives - they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet.

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.

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

I think the main issue is that a lot of the stars today are very addicted, and they simply feel more comfortable smoking as they act.

That's sort of what I felt... I miss drinking, I thought bars were truly holy places.

Actors always loved props and-so instead of a hat or an umbrella, they feel really comfortable with a cigarette as a prop.

Politics has become entertainment.
