Politics Has Become Entertainment.

I Think One Of The Things That I Was Struck By Was That Joe Has The Financial Wherewithal To Go Check Into Some Expensive Clinic, Go Into Rehab And Beat These Addictions But He Didn't. He Sort Of Designed His Own, You Know, Sort Of Rehabilitation At Home. And Anybody Could Do What He Did. When He Felt Like Having A Cigarette After He Ate, He Would Get Up And Walk. At Cocktail Hour When He Used To Have A Drink And Watch The News, He Stopped Watching The News. He Couldn't. He Couldn't Watch The News And Not Have A Drink And A Cigarette. He Would Walk.

Don't Smoke. Don't Kill Yourselves. Don't Maim Yourselves. Tell Your Friends. Please Don't Smoke.

I Have Always Been Fascinated By The Corruption Of Power.

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.

And The Inner Dynamics Of Hollywood Are Like Politics. Say You Give A Script To A Group Of Executives - They All Sit Around, Afraid To Voice An Opinion, Saying Nothing, Waiting To Know What The Consensus Is. Just Like Focus Groups, Opinion Polls Or A Cabinet.
