Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.
Joe Eszterhas
Politics has become entertainment.
Joe Eszterhas
I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.
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.

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 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 have only one loyalty - to my writing. I never wanted to be the head of a studio or a producer.
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
I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power.
Joe Eszterhas
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 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
Actors always loved props and-so instead of a hat or an umbrella, they feel really comfortable with a cigarette as a prop.
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
Don't smoke. Don't kill yourselves. Don't maim yourselves. Tell your friends. Please don't smoke.
Joe Eszterhas
Now the cigarette companies claim that they don't do that [ pay to have their product advertised in movies ] anymore, although it certainly makes you wonder a bit when an independent production like In The Bedroom, you know, seems to focus constantly on Marlboros and almost it turns into a Marlboro ad, whether there was any money exchanged.
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.
Joe Eszterhas
Your characters get angry at you if you speak about them and stop you from giving birth to them on the page in revenge. Real writers sit down and write. Wannabe writers sit around and talk.

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.
