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

I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.

My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best.

I was a smoker for about 20 years.

My greatest inspiration is my mother, the bravest person I ever knew. She overcame incredible odds, worked while raising two kids, and made it all look incredibly simple. Even in her final days succumbing to cancer, she fought like a champion.

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'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.
