You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.
Wow. Tom Cruise is a bigger nutjob than I'd ever imagined. Today on "Today" he took on Matt Lauer and got a bit testy. But why hate on Lauer? If you're gonna hate on somebody on that terrible show, at least it could be Katie Couric.
Cruise: I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever. Before I was a Scientologist I never agreed with psychiatry. And when I started studying the history of psychiatry, I understood more and more why I didn't believe in psychology.
Cruise: No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do.
Cruise: All it does is mask the problem, Matt. And if you understand the history of it, it masks the problem. That's what it does. That's all it does. You're not getting to the reason why. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.
Cruise: Matt. Matt, Matt, you don't even — you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, okay? That's what I've done. Then you go and you say where's the medical test? Where's the blood test that says how much Ritalin you're supposed to get?
Cruise: I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life, Matt.
