              •  "smoking has shifted from being almost sociopathic behavior to taking on an edge of world-weary resignation, particularly in those films that lay claim to an understanding of Generation X's pain. 'It's a device used to show recklessness', says Janeane Garofalo, who starred as Winona Ryder's pot-smoking, sex-without-strings, Gap-managing best friend in 'Reality Bites.' The smoker has become 'a rebel, a gutsier person', she says. 'And there's something liberating about not caring about the consequences'. In her West Hollywood neighborhood, Garofalo says, smokers feel so hunted that a sort of speak-easy mentality has emerged: 'I think you're seeing a lot more young people smoking in coffeehouses. In places that look the other way, business is definitely improving'", Los Angeles Times, Jun. 19, '94
              •  "A rare standup performance by the acerbic comic actress, taped last year. Garofalo riffs on a wide range of topics, from being ostracized for being a smoker to her personal issues with U.S. President George Bush", Globe and Mail (Canada), Jul. 26, '03
              •  "and then janeane garofalo and her boyfriend walk right by me. i'm a big fan of janeane's but i gotta say ever since she quit hitting the sauce and smoking cigs she looks frightening and anorexic", Gawker.com, Aug. 26, '04
              •  "WCT: Speaking of movies, are you still a smoker? If so, what are your thoughts of the MPAA using smoking as a factor when deciding ratings? JG: I think it's ridiculous. I can think of a million other things I would like to eradicate from the films that my children are seeing. Not that I have children. But if we're concerned about the decency, I would certainly just eradicate the shit story lines of 90 percent of the TV and films I see, the gratuitous hyper-sexuality, the violence, the conservative thinking - if there is any. [ Laughs. ] I would like to see interventions that are warranted, like politics, that are far more detrimental to society. The political spectacle, the horrible state of our current media, the 'news media.' There needs to be interventions in our mainstream conservative news media, in our political process, our electoral system, our healthcare system - I can think of a million better ways to rate something than a cigarette. WCT: Besides that, I just can't picture your character in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion with smoking not involved. JG: It would certainly be different! And there are far more objectionable things going on in film: the objectification of women, the glorification of violence with a cool soundtrack, the just lameness of the third act of most films", Windy City Times, Jun. 13, '07
