I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.

I'm more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I've done in my life, including winning an Oscar.

I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him.

When I first did 'Best in Show,' I had never done any improvisation.

After the 'Last Waltz' concert, it just seemed very healthy to me to put making a record as far out of my mind as I possibly could.

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.

'Holy Smoke' is very brave because I don't think it's easy to watch.

I never smoked a cigarette until I was nine.

I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.
