Alexandra Maria Lara Quotes
[I typically start my day with] coffee and a cigarette... Smoking is terrible, to smoke a cigarette as the first thing in the day is the worst thing you can do to yourself... I want to stop smoking, I have smoked almost a pack a day, you see, since I was 16. I told my parents immediately. They always wanted me to be honest with them... my father accepted my promise not to smoke more than two or three cigarettes a day. But unfortunately it didn't quite work out.
