More quotes by 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 worry that we are approaching a time when that which is shocking is squeezed out by the Stalinism of political correctness.
Joe Eszterhas
Sirens wailed the revolution had come to Harrisonville. Blood was flowing on Pearl Street.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
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
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 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
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
Don't smoke. Don't kill yourselves. Don't maim yourselves. Tell your friends. Please don't smoke.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
Joe Eszterhas
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.
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
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.
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.
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 only one loyalty - to my writing. I never wanted to be the head of a studio or a producer.
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
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.
Joe Eszterhas
You must show how gruesome that death is because if you don't, then you turn into some kind of comic book and pain, then death, doesn't have a consequence, and pain doesn't have a consequence.
