Miscellaneous information

	•	"Devon, [in D.E.B.S. (2004)] your character always seems to be lighting a cigarette. How much smoking did you have to do? DEVON: [laughs] Actually, not a lot. You will think that I was smoking while we filmed the whole movie, but those scenes when I was smoking were pretty short--one, two minute takes. So you take a drag, and then for the rest of the scene, you can just sort of stand there looking fashionable. ANGELA (Robinson): If you watch the movie, you'll notice she's standing there with the cigarette a lot. Very little actual smoking. DEVON: Yeah.", Radio Free Entertainment, Mar. 14, '05
	•	"[in D.E.B.S. (2004)] Dominique's smoking fascinates me. She never lights a cigarette, extinguishes one, or taps an ash. She simply exists with a freshly lit filter-tip in her mouth, occasionally removing it to emit a perky little puff of uninhaled smoke. I wish I had stayed through the credits to see if there was a cigarette wrangler. Dominique's very presence on the screen inspires me to imagine an excited pitch meeting during which the writer-director, Angela Robinson, said with enthusiasm: 'And Dominique, the Asian chick, smokes all the time!' At which the studio executives no doubt thanked the gods for blessing them with such richness and originality in character formation.", Roger Ebert movie review, Mar. 25, '05
