More quotes by Joe Eszterhas
I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power.
Joe Eszterhas
Let's make Joe Lieberman accountable for his rhetoric. Not a penny more until he 'clarifies' his position to the satisfaction of our creative freedom.
Joe Eszterhas
I will focus on smoking in movies and with the amount of time that I have left in the world, I will do the best I can to stop smoking in movies and also to help people stop smoking, just normal ordinary people who may need help.

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
Joe Lieberman was threatening censorship. What I'm arguing is that if the creative people in Hollywood themselves have a responsibility, have a moral responsibility in terms of smoking, not to show smoking in movies.
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 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
No one is going to tell a movie star to smoke or not smoke because they can do whatever they want.
Joe Eszterhas
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 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.
Joe Eszterhas
Politics has become entertainment.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.
Joe Eszterhas
The-one of the odd things that's going on with smoking these days is that in the '90s, smoking at movies in the '90s, there were more movies showing smoking than there were in the '60s.
