Cigarettes are an instant signifier in culture. It punctuates a joke, or puts that extra zing on a punch line. I like them as a prop. I think it can be really useful for character and texture and contrast and all of that.

I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.

I would almost rather be in debt constantly than work with horrible people that I hate.

At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.

During my teen years, for Halloween, I went as a registered voter.

I live like a crazy old pack rat.

I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.
