More From George Bernard Shaw

A cigarette is a roll of paper, tobacco, and drugs, with a small fire on one end and a large fool at the other. some of its chief benefits are cancer of the lips and stomach, softening of the brain, funeral procesions, and families shrouded in gloom and grief. although a great many people know this, they still smoke in order to appear sophisticated.

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.

I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. i often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. i wonder what great things have come from such hours. when a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind--and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.

A fool, a fool! i met a fool i' th' forest, a motley fool! a miserable world! as i do live by food, i met a fool who laid him down and basked him in the sun and railed on lady fortune in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a motley fool.

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans alone. smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate excruciation. every smoker is an embodiment of prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and bringing it on back home. we smoke to capture the power of the sun, to pacify hell, to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the marrow of the volcano. it’s not the tobacco we’re after but the fire. when we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire dance, a ritual as ancient as lightning.

When i'm playing a serial killer, i'm in it. i'm not judging him. i'm not judging his environment. i'm just looking for the why. why is he the way he is? but, there's no doubt that, if you're a good actor, you're going to take this stuff home with you.
