The relentless pursuit of perfection has been my problem over the years. It's maybe held me back.

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

Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life's ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.

Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.

I've chosen to get the word out to women, especially young women, that tobacco is not glamorous - it's addictive and smoking takes a serious toll on your health.

The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.

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

I am a smoker, I'm ashamed to say. I had given it up for many years, then picked it up again. It's a horrible habit. I struggle with myself all the time. And I love to smoke.

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.

Perfection itself is imperfection.
