Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it.

I looked into studying psychoanalysis, wrote to the governing body and was about to start the year where they psychoanalyse you, four times a week, before you get to do it yourself. I just thought I'd taken the ventriloquism as far as I could. My act is so deconstructive, and I'd made all the monkey jokes anyone wanted to hear.

Psychoanalysts seem to be long on information and short on application.

I'm not that taken with Freudian perspectives. They seem to be overcomplicated.

Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.

I wrote several articles criticizing psychoanalysis, but the analysts weren't listening to my objections. So I finally quit after practicing it for six years.

I've never gone into analysis. But Freud opened a door, I know.

Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself as therapy.

I find it hilarious that there are academics who try to analyse chemical changes in the brains of students while exposing them to gags.

Psychoanalysts are not occupied with the minds of their patients; they do not believe in the mind but in a cerebral intestine.
