I just don't want anyone messing around with my pure smoking pleasure.

It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life.

The upside to smoking is that you get to be social. I was looking for a light when I bumped into Ben Harper's manager. A couple of days later, Ben and I were in the studio.

I am not a politician, and my other habits air good.

There's nothing quite like tobacco: it's the passion of decent folk, and whoever lives without tobacco doesn't deserve to live.

Get me well so I can get on television and tell people to stop smoking.

I like nicotine because it excites my brain and helps me work.

People always come up to me and say that my smoking is bothering them... Well, it's killing me!

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
