Assuming that all bad girls smoke. I don't think so. I've been around a lot of bad girls who don't smoke, you know, so I think it's easy to put a cigarette into, you know, into anyone's hands and say, well that makes them a bad boy or a bad girl. There are many more creative ways from a writerly point of view to do that.

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

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

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

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

I was six when we came to this country. When I was 14 or so, I still had a lot of trouble with it.

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.
