we happen to be doing a story about you know how bad it gets with stars um did it get to the point where people were going through your trash and that sort of a thing to you know dig up dirt on you or yeah apparently for a little while there you know there was a time when people whoever they were were sort of fascinated with what what i might be throwing away you know into the garbage can it just happens i don't know i mean i don't know i mean i've never really been fascinated with
anyone's trash before but some people you know what can you do do you know what they were looking for looking for notes or things about your personality or something or adult diapers maybe i don't know i'm not sure what they were looking for um but you know what's real weird about that the whole the sort of like the the how the media thing gets sort of stretched out into this really absurd kind of surreal thing is you know like i said you know you're an actor and you're trying to do your job you know there's
a ton of them out there who are trying to just kind of do their job get by and do the best they can make some money whatever and then suddenly you reach a certain level in your career and this kind of this sort of wheel starts spinning about your past and your future and your present and who are you with last night and what club and this and like you know how many people you've you know quite possibly bumped uglies with or something you know it's like suddenly this thing starts happening it becomes no it
doesn't become it's not about the work anymore it's not about films it's not about you know it becomes this kind of showboat thing this sort of society of ambulance chasers who uh who are fascinated with uh you know your personal life or uh you know like what's inside your brain and things like that and to me that's that's really frightening because i mean there's only i mean there's only a couple of actors that i can think of that i that that i would be fascinated to find out what what their thoughts are marlon brando is
one of them i mean he's obviously like an amazing amazing actor and he's possibly the greatest but what fascinates me about marlon brando is his brain and his thoughts you know but i mean to be to become fascinated with the personal life or the or the thoughts and opinions of a person who pretends for living who lies for money is beyond me so what do you do then how do you deal with all this stuff lay low just kind of lay low i don't you know i'm not a real uh uh function oriented person i
i don't uh i don't do well at functions or you know like the the hollywood party scene i just kind of uh i don't uh go there so much i just kind of stay home you know or wander a bit tell us about your favorite cigars your fascination why is this something that is part of you well you know what i i'm a i'm a smoker it's not a popular thing to be in 1993 i smoke but uh i don't know cigars somehow just they seem it's a great it's as soon as you light it
it's sort of somehow you instantly relax it's just i don't know what it is um my favorite cigars i can't say there's so many great ones i have you know there's some real nice cuban cigars it's not it's not a fault it's not like a it's a real thing you know when people say oh cuban cigars the finest you think is look cigars cigar tobacco's tobacco no it's raw cumin cigars are the stuff um a favorite maybe you know maybe uh cohiba lancero that's kind of a thing that was castro's cigar that's that was his
favorite cigar before he quit to people who don't smoke what would you liken cigar smoking that that feeling too is it like a fine wine or how would you just yeah maybe like depending on the cigar you're smoking would be uh comparing it to maybe a warm cognac you know just something like that suddenly everything starts to just kind of calm down and just sort of sort of sink into the old lazy boy how did you get into the cigars did somebody introduce you or was it because if someone walked up to me and handed
me a rolled up pair of socks i would probably smoke it i'm i'm one of the few and the proud smokers who really love smoke i if i if i could have another mouth grafted onto my face to smoke more i would do it i have lung power from i i the one gift i have in this world is i have incredibly strong sometimes i smoke two three cigarettes at a time i can hear the american cancer society bones ringing right now the publicists are going get this wow you don't have to use it i
mean it's just sort of there you're being honest you know yeah unfortunately i'm in you know a big smoker oh yeah [Music] you
