  • Miscellaneous information
              •  "Do you have any other projects in the works? 'I am starting a film called 'The Smoker' in the fall that Richard Linklater is doing.' Are you smoking? 'No, it's actually--I think they might change the title because the title comes from the short story and the purpose of it, it's like the smoker is the teacher's room that they all smoke in at the school and that's not really explained in the script anymore. So I don't know, the title might change unless they can explain it somehow. It's not really about a smoker.'", website, Jul. 26, '04
              •  "'People think the film industry is going to corrupt me,' she said at 19. 'I wasn't really home when my friends were trying pot for the first time. I was always around adults who wouldn't curse or smoke or do anything like that around me'.", New York Times, Nov. 7, '04
              •  "One of the things my parents were particularly concerned about was the smoking in the movie [Léon (1994)]. They had a very detailed agreement with Luc [Besson, the director] about what could be used. I was only allowed to have five cigarettes in my hand during the entire shooting of the film. I wasn't allowed to inhale, they weren't allowed to be real cigarettes. But you can actually see in the movie, you can see me putting them to my lips, but you never see me blowing out, or you just see me holding a cigarette. And then, the other thing was that she has to quit during the movie, which is also in there. You see her--you see Leon scold Mathilda for smoking, and then later on, when she's alone, she just throws a cigarette away.", Léon (1994) ten-year anniversary DVD, '04

              •  "[Wes] Anderson contacted [Natalie] Portman after getting her e-mail address from [Darjeeling Limited, The (2007)] producer Scott Rudin. [Anderson] says she was well aware that she'd be taking it all off for the small part but stipulated only one script change. 'Smoking. She didn't want to smoke,' he remembered. That's why, in the final scene, 'we changed it to Jason giving her a toothpick. I think it's better.'", Los Angeles Times, Sep. 24, '07

  • Quotes about smoking
              •  "I guess the most glamorous film image for many girls is Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The way she looked and carried herself was wonderful. When she smokes in the film, it looks so beautiful, although I've never smoked in my life because I know that it's horrible for you. Even though I love the way it looks when she smokes, I don't think movies should glamorize smoking", Barnes & Noble Interview, Sep. 26, '00
