| • | "In front of her is a pot of tea and a packet of cigarettes, which is surprising given I recently read an interview suggesting she'd managed to quit smoking. The 35-year-old actress laughs... 'I had stopped. It was my New Year's resolution -never to make a resolution ever again' ... Sarah also realised she'd have to break one of her TV rules because Atkins smoked. 'I think it was the first time that I had ever smoked on screen. I don't really like doing that,' she says. 'But the smoking was Coral and part of that era, the early Seventies, in which the story is set. After I finished filming I stopped smoking, for five-and-a-half months. It's terrible to have started again' ... 'I really need a cigarette' ... She feels she's not really meant to be a smoker. 'Most people say I don't look like one. It's not good. It's not a habit I condone. If the boys (her sons Thomas, 12, and 10-year-old Matthew) start, I'll do the obligatory telling them how stupid they are'", Scotland on Sunday (UK), Feb. 20, '00 |

But I'm not planning on being a health role model....I do smoke in real life, but I don't like doing it on screen. If you start filming a scene with a cigarette, you end up smoking it for the rest of the day. And the problem with smoking on screen is one cigarette turns into 10 which isn't a pleasant experience. So I cut the number of cigarette scenes by a third. But if you're going to make a character politically incorrect, then you have to go the whole hog' ", Sunday People (UK), Jun. 6, '04

| • | "One characteristic that Rose and Sarah do share is that they are both smokers, but this is something of a sore point. Rose is a drinker too - despite being a diabetic - but at least the grape juice she is seen knocking back won't do Sarah any harm. The fags are more contentious. She says: 'The thing about smoking on screen is that filming one cigarette normally means smoking 10 cigarettes because of doing shots from different angles. But I limited myself . . . there are about a third of the cigarettes on screen compared to what was in the script.' In fact Sarah did manage to give up the evil weed for six months in 1999 but a narrowly-averted disaster with the Christmas dinner did for her. 'I put the turkey in the oven then realised I hadn't taken the giblets out. They were in there in a plastic bag somewhere. I had to take out the turkey, take out the stuffing, shove my hand up its bottom. I felt like such a failure. I was nearly in tears. Then my brother came in with a packet of Silk Cut and that was that'. Despite the smoking, Sarah does not look as if she's facing 40 in October", The Sun (UK), Jun. 27, '04
