I always try to do true endings and that's where I got into trouble always because Hollywood wants to do happy endings.
Joe Eszterhas
Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.
Joe Eszterhas
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.

Bill Klinton was the ultimate rock star as president. I don't think as a result of his presidency we will ever have a rock star as president again. In the same way that we will never get involved in another Vietnam.

I have been an accomplice to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.

No one is going to tell a movie star to smoke or not smoke because they can do whatever they want.

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.

I was six when we came to this country. When I was 14 or so, I still had a lot of trouble with it.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
I worry that we are approaching a time when that which is shocking is squeezed out by the Stalinism of political correctness.
Joe Eszterhas
Actors always loved props and-so instead of a hat or an umbrella, they feel really comfortable with a cigarette as a prop.

All has changed, thanks to Joe Eszterhas' life-threatening battle with throat cancer. He announced in The New York Times that he and Hollywood had blood on their hands and now Eszterhas is crusading to stop Hollywood's glamorization of smoking.

Before I would view Rob Reiner as this really annoying pest. Every time he'd come on TV or talking about smoking, I found my blood pressure go up. I just met-really met Rob for the first time last week and told him how much I admire him. He's done more than anyone else in the industry.

Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
I do want to make a special appeal to women movie stars to, I think, have a special responsibility these days to stop smoking, not to do it up on screen because the example that's being set is really an awful example.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
I was a militant smoker, and in my case, I think I particularly used smoking because what I felt was a kind of politically correct big brother assault on smoking.
Joe Eszterhas
I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.
