The show has become my therapy.

This town was built on nepotism.

I never thought about being famous.

My kids have a competitive drive I never had growing up.

And my marriage was perfect when I wasn't famous.

We have four beautiful children and some wonderful memories.

I was 12 years old when I had my first job, delivering packages.

But my kids, my brothers' kids - they think about trying to top what we did.

Nobody can stop you but you. And shame on you if you're the one who stops yourself.

The show has become my therapy.

My father is a Jehovah's Witness, and he raised us under a very strict hand.

The less food, the more time to talk, the more to talk about.

And for my family, comedically, that was the key to a lot of the humor.

Being a celebrity, I don't even have to talk.

Some struggle is healthy. If you can embrace it rather than be angry, you can use it as your pilot light.

My father was the guy on the block who said hi to everyone.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

Why pay $100 on a therapy session when you can spend $25 on a cigar? Whatever it is will come back; so what, smoke another one.

I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy.

There are people who have benefited from therapy without being confronted with the past at all.

This is really America in therapy, people trying to get themselves together and be whole.

I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.

I quit therapy because my analyst was trying to help me behind my back.

Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.

In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.

People think my work is therapeutic. I don't see it that way. It's not like I'm saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life.

We may define therapy as a search for value.

He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not.

With the art therapy, as soon as they saw the paper and crayons coming, we couldn't get it out fast enough. And we told them to draw about the tsunami.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.

Regression to the stage of early infancy is not a suitable method in and of itself. Such a regression can only be effective if it happens in the natural course of therapy and if the client is able to maintain adult consciousness at the same time.

Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.

Singing becomes a form of therapy.

I've tried everything. I've done therapy, I've done colonics. I went to a psychic who had me running around town buying pieces of ribbon to fill the colors in my aura. Did the Prozac thing.

All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.

I got problems. I freak out, go to a shrink, go through all kinds of therapy and stuff, but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.

Today I should not be identified with any kind of regressive therapy.

I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.

I take it that a successful therapy is an oxymoron.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

I'm interested in how artists and writers do this, using art as therapy. Escaping into the worlds we create. We're all victims and few of us are truly free.

I had years of therapy to recover from this. A lot of it had to with being a people pleaser, being the ultimate good girl. I wanted everyone to like me. I didn't really have a voice. I was afraid of growing up.

If anyone would have been paying serious attention to my puppet shows, I would have been sent to therapy very young.

I thought foolishly that Freudian psychoanalysis was deeper and more intensive than other, more directive forms of therapy, so I was trained in it and practiced it.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Smile, it's free therapy.
