I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's cinematographic to smoke. Imagine Lauren Bacall without a cigarette.
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.
There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.
Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.
I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.
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.
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.
I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant, which was nine years ago. But I'll still smoke in a movie. I have other vices, you know, like potato chips and chardonnay - but not together.
I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
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.
