An actor has to be very, very careful, as one of the most wonderful props - and actors love props - is a cigarette. There's so much to do with it: you can bring it up to your face, play with the smoke. It's just the greatest - ever since I was 16 and in acting school in England, I've been playing around with cigarettes.
Melissa Leo
At one time I smoked, but in 1959 I couldn't think of anything else to give up for Lent so I stopped-and I haven't had a cigarette since.
Ethel Merman
Everyone assumes we're always going to have a cocktail and a cigarette in hand. Fans expect us all to be dressed up all the time. They always say to me, 'You look so young. You don't seem as tall!'
Christina Hendricks
Fame is being asked to sign your autograph on the back of a cigarette packet.
Billy Connolly
Far too many times over the next 12 to 15 years, it was brought to my attention that people who followed my exercise guidelines exactly but ignored their diet, their weight and their cigarette smoking had heart attacks at age 55.
Kenneth H. Cooper
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
Joan Miro
I busted out of the place in a hurry and went to a saloon and drank beer and said that for the rest of my life I'd never take a job in a place where you couldn't throw cigarette butts on the floor. I was hooked on this writing for newspapers and magazines.
Jimmy Breslin
I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer's block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter - now, computer - lit up a cigarette.
Frederik Pohl
I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony Hopkins
I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since.
Arturo Toscanini
I met the surgeon general - he offered me a cigarette.
Rodney Dangerfield
I never smoked a cigarette until I was nine.
H. L. Mencken
I think George just nailed the whole thing, the whole time period, the whole look and feel of what that newsroom was like. I did a lot of research for the role and believe me, it's all pretty genuine, down to the very last cigarette butt.
David Strathairn
I was in London. It's a long way to go for a very long party, sitting there for six hours not having a cigarette or a drink. It's a waste of time.
Albert Finney
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.
Elizabeth Berkley
I'll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I'll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don't think those things are right for me.
Elvis Presley
I'm going to sit back, light up, and hope I don't chew the cigarette to pieces.
Vin Scully
I've been close to Bette Davis for thirty-eight years - and I have the cigarette burns to prove it.
Henry Fonda
If you want to talk to me, you'll have to put out that cigarette.
Jimmy Piersall
Impotence is one of the major hazards of cigarette smoking.
