Once you are hooked, smoking is harder to quit then heroin.

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

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

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

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.

There's nothing glamorous about being dead.

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