I haven't really spoken to God since I was a boy and I've rediscovered god and prayer in the process and all of that has come together.

I started making a point earlier that women's cancer rates are skyrocketing, and we have some women movie stars, young women movie stars, who are smoking in many of their movies.

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

The charm of smoking a cigarette from the point of view of the people who smoked them, and I was one of those people for many, many years, is an amazing pleasure and a hit that some people say, and I've never done heroin, but some people say that it rivals the heroin hit, so there is that pleasure. The-it kills you the same way that heroin kills you.

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

I was surprised by how warm the response was, even among studio heads, who said they really, we do have to do something about glamourization of smoking.

There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.
