I Have Only One Loyalty - To

All Has Changed, Thanks To Joe Eszterhas' Life-threatening Battle With Throat Cancer. He Announced In "the New York Times" That He And Hollywood Had Blood On Their Hands And Now Eszterhas Is Crusading To Stop Hollywood's Glamorization Of Smoking.

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.

I Have Only One Loyalty - To My Writing. I Never Wanted To Be The Head Of A Studio Or A Producer.

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.

I've Seen Joe Take On Many Battles, Cancer Being One Of Them, And The Determination That He Has, And He Won't Stop, He's Not Going To Make One Announcement And Write One Editorial And Go Away.
