Bette Davis Had A Phrase That Called

A Cigarette In The Hands Of A Hollywood Star Onscreen Is A Gun Aimed At A 12- Or 14-year-old.

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.

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.

Fact Is We Went On To Do Other Things. But We Still Wanted To Do Our Success Like Rock'n'roll Stars.

That's Sort Of What I Felt... I Miss Drinking, I Thought Bars Were Truly Holy Places.
