I would be very proud to have influenced anyone that I know or don't know to quit smoking.

I don't think that artists of any kind would or could sacrifice their artistic freedom by being more responsible with their influence on people, especially young people.

It is education that will arm us with the tools that will enable us to succeed and put a stop to the rising rates of preventable death.

I survived a potentially life-threatening childbirth-related complication after delivering my daughter. I learned that hundreds of thousands of girls and women die each year due to similar and often manageable complications. They die because they don't have access to critical maternity care that could easily save their lives.

I never understand why people have children and then insist on living as though nothing has shifted.

I tried acupuncture, the patch, and hypnosis, but found that I needed to do it alone - when the time was right for me.

It is better to not even try it than to endure the ramifications of either quitting smoking or dying.
