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.

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

I think that Hollywood is sort of guilty of having a moral blind eye on this subject. While at the same time, you know, being involved in a lot of liberal causes and being involved very militantly, Hollywood is, in fact, guilty of helping to addict people to smoke.

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.

Anyone I think who - that would go through a cancer ward and would see the result of what smoking does, would never, ever think of smoking is sexy again.

What Hollywood has done through the years is glamorized it even more, made it sexy, made it sensuous, and dwelled on those pleasure aspects, completing ignoring the fact that Hollywood as an industry, was pointing the gun at young people - pointing a gun at them when they were 12 to 14 years.

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