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.

You must show how gruesome that death is because if you don't, then you turn into some kind of comic book and pain, then death, doesn't have a consequence, and pain doesn't have a consequence.

There are some young women movie stars who are doing it everywhere, smoking in every movie, sometimes even with placements with a pack of cigarettes.

There's no doubt in my mind that Bill Clinton will stop smoking cigars, will never smoke them again, as a result of what he did with that cigar.

Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.

I always wanted to be a rock'n'roll star.

I worry that we are approaching a time when that which is shocking is squeezed out by the Stalinism of political correctness.
