Impotence is one of the major hazards of cigarette smoking.

I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.

My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.

Your lungs are changed forever from your first cigarette.

I started acting when I was 10, doing musical theater. I was a brunette at that time. I was always cast in all the exotic parts.

My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.

I'd had my daughter when I was a teenager - I took my daughter to college with me.

My daughter teases me once in a while saying, Remember when you used to be my mother and you had black hair?

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

My sister and I are both diagnosed with second-hand smoke syndromes. We have never smoked, but we grew up with second-hand smoke our entire lives.

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

When life brings you full circle, pay attention. There's a lesson there.

The gesture was so tight with rage she feared she’d snap and crack the world in two.

I think I'm an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting, but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist.

Oh! would I were dead now Or up in my bed now To cover my head now And have a good cry!

All parents are an embarrassment to their kids. Often grandparents are the relief. Kids don't have to resist you.

It's estimated that there may be two hundred and fifty million children in the world engaged in some form of exploitative child labour.

At home we're the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrassed in front of our friends.

I really don't know what I could teach and don't really plan to teach.

People are not hungry because we dont produce enough. People are hungry for political reasons.

I always had a feeling, for example, that there should be something from Verdi's "Requiem" in the film. You hear it when you see the lava flow in Iceland. That turned out to be a very easy choice.
