I've seen Joe take on many battles, cancer being one of them, and the determination that he has, and he won't stop, he's not going to make one announcement and write one editorial and go away.

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

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

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

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

I have only one loyalty - to my writing. I never wanted to be the head of a studio or a producer.

I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.
