You're always better off if you quit smoking; it's never too late.

I should do something about the cigarettes; I quite accept that it's bad for your health, but you know a moderate tipple is positively beneficial and, at certain times, absolutely essential.

I try to stay in good physical shape, I don't smoke, I don't drink.

Three cigarettes in, your body already craves it. It is that addictive.

I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.

I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.

I'm going to sit back, light up, and hope I don't chew the cigarette to pieces.

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

I have always taken care of my body; I'm not a drinker, I've never smoked. And I've always exercised. That's all you have to do.
