I’ve always been very involved in anything that had to do with lung disease or cancer.

There’s nothing glamorous about being dead.

I’d had my daughter when I was a teenager – I took my daughter to college with me.

If you want to be alive and live in a real world, if you want to have any emotions at all in your life, you must willingly, knowingly, repeatedly set yourself up for things possibly not ending up ’happily ever after.

My mom started smoking when she was 11. She went to the hill next door to try her first cigarette. She set the entire hill on fire, but it didn’t deter her.

When women smoke, it is hard for them to quit because they are so worried about their weight; it’s a vanity issue and a mindset.

I’ve been working with the National Lung Health Education Program to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

My dad had emphysema and both of my parents had chronic bronchitis and ended up with cancers – all smoking related.

Who says there can’t be more than one very attractive woman on a show without it becoming CHARLIE’S ANGELS?

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