It's my belief that, since the end of the Second World War, psychology has moved too far away from its original roots, which were to make the lives of all people more fulfilling and productive, and too much toward the important, but not all-important, area of curing mental illness.

The purpose of psychology is to give us a completely different idea of the things we know best.

Psychology is much bigger than just medicine, or fixing unhealthy things. It's about education, work, marriage - it's even about sports. What I want to do is see psychologists working to help people build strengths in all these domains.

Psychology is a big part of sport that some people do not realise. But it is a skill you have to practice.

Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life.

Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind.

If we're going to go farther from Earth, to Mars or somewhere else someday, we have to have a good understanding of the psychological impact on people. And not only psychologically, but how it affects their cognition. We're doing a lot of research on my cognitive abilities.

In Psychology we deal with minds and their processes, and leave out of account as far as possible the objects that we get to know by means of them.

Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man.

I think what we do is fairly unique on 'Psych,' and we just have to keep doing that because that's what got us where we are.
