About This Quote

That’s what I do: I make coffee and occasionally succumb to suicidal nihilism. But you shouldn’t worry — poetry is still first. Cigarettes and alcohol follow is a quote that was used in the movie The Royal Tenenbaums. The movie was about various characters and their lives and adventures throughout Brooklyn, New York City.

In the movie, the line was said by Chas (played by Gene Hackman) and was about him making coffee and smoking cigarettes. The line is said as Chas is packing his things to move back to his family cabin in the woods of Wisconsin.
