In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic.

Kelley
But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen. Penn Jillette
