Bette Davis had a phrase that called it "cigarette smoking acting" .

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

I think it's terrible to show that to kids. It's - I think you should - if you - if you do a piece where something violent happens and someone dies or is badly injured, you must show the pain.

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

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.

I think to put death on screen where it isn't that turns it into comic book time and there I think by desensitizing an audience, you really do open the possibility that someone is going to kill.

I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power.
