I got a role in Pearl Harbor within a week of getting to L.A. My head swelled. I spent all my money in two months and then didn`t work for another six. Luckily, Grandma hooked a brother up.
- Sean FarisI quit a year and a half ago and I turned into a werewolf. I went nuts. I`ve been smoking since I was in junior high school. I did a couple of episodes of The West Wing two years ago and I was in the middle of one of these psycho things and turned around and smacked the stage door as hard as I could and my fist immediately swelled up. Thank God I didn`t break anything, but that was the last episode I had of nicotine withdrawal. (on quitting smoking in 2003)
- John GoodmanI`m very impressed with myself and getting a swelled head,
- Earl HamnerThe petitioner was held in a sealed underground cell, with no windows and no way to escape the poison chemicals that were pumped into his cell (ostensibly to kill cockroaches.) The petitioner`s throat swelled up from the chemicals; he could not breathe. He began to choke. He vomited. His eyes swelled shut. He began shaking and was in great pain. His head began to throb. He lost consciousness. Before he passed out, he pleaded with the guards to remove him from his cell but they refused. The petitioner suffered from severe headaches, nausea and dizziness for weeks after this episode. It is not clear if there has been permanent damage to his respiratory system.
