If I went to a psychiatrist, it would be a long session. I've always thought that I do have a number of issues that probably need dealing with, because I am quite odd in some ways.

I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.

Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.

Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.

Keep in mind that no matter how perfectly you get your life in order, you will never be rid of all your problems. Problems are a way of life, always have been, always will be. But how you elect to view those problems is all up to you.

I think we can work through a lot of these issues.

Psychiatrists don't solve anything from one day to the next.

I stay away from issues.

I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.

We must bring the issue of mental illness out into the sunlight, out of the shadow, out of the closet, deal with it, treat people, have centers where people can get the necessary help.
