I've been wanting to say it but I thought I can't say, '(I quit) yesterday,' then you're gonna be, 'Oh you didn't really quit then.' It's been about two months now and I know I'm done completely. I was really ashamed of it. Nobody's proud of it. People smoke and I smoked, but it's a bad habit. Nobody ever announces bad habits. I'm announcing it 'cause I'm proud of it 'cause it is so hard to do. So you announce when you quit, but nobody announces when they start...When people would see me smoke they were shocked 'cause I don't look like a smoker and I really didn't smoke that much. I was a social smoker' ", Contactmusic, Apr. 27, '05

| • | quit - "Now I'll move on to celebrating the things I've accomplished in the past year. I think that can still be considered a resolution-- to keep doing something good that you've been doing previously. Like last October, I was hypnotized to quit smoking, and it worked. I now consider myself a nonsmoker. I've had 'Start hypnosis to stop smoking' on my list for years. But writing it down made me do the opposite: I kept on smoking and never got hypnotized. I'm now victorious on both counts. So I will list: 2. Continue to be hypnotized. and 3. Keep on not smoking.", Parade, Dec. 31, '06
