There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Hollywood you can't even smoke in a bar anymore and yet in the movies they're always showing people smoking. I don't get it.
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.
I don't want to smoke on screen, as I will be sending a wrong message to my fans, and I appeal to my costars too, to avoid smoking scenes if possible.
From what I've been able to determine, many of our big stars are addicted to tobacco. They want to smoke in movies for the same reason I smoked as I wrote, which is that they think their performance is going to be better.
You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality. You don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes.
There is no buzz like performing for a live audience.
It's cinematographic to smoke. Imagine Lauren Bacall without a cigarette.
Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.
