I've always noted with some awe the reading habits of the Australian public. Australians read more newspapers and magazines per head of population than almost any other country in the world.

I'm so suspicious of our own understanding of the past. I just think that your mind plays absolute tricks on you and fools you every minute of every day. And so when you're talking about the past, you're talking about something that never happened. At least it didn't happen the way you think it happened.

There is never a time in a company's history when cost control can be relegated to the back burner, but for a startup company, keeping costs low is a vital necessity.

False praise is worse than no praise.

You have to persuade yourself that you absolutely don't care what happens. If you don't care, you've won. I absolutely promise you, in every serious negotiation, the man or woman who doesn't care is going to win.

Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back?

We want to blame people who have brain disorders - they should somehow be able to magically rise above it. It's a profound misconception.

All I treat at the hospital is trauma survivors.

People who have had severe childhood traumas lack the ability to regulate emotions and, as a result, gravitate toward whatever primitive means they can come up with.

The history of the office of First Lady had not been kind to those with mental health issues.

Brains affect brains through far more means than words and listening.

It used to be radio was the place that young people gathered to get their information.

When I started out, no one would talk to young people about HIV or AIDS. I looked around and radio looked like a powerful way to shape culture in a healthy way.

I tell everybody, no one understands how challenging and stressful practicing medicine is.

People have sort of been swirling around me, going, 'Oh, you should run for mayor.' Well I didn't really want that job. 'Well, you should run for governor.' Well, that's not really possible.

Big people take care of little people; we must live up to that trust.

Childhood trauma is the rocket fuel for addictive pathology, and this fundamental truth is laid bare in 'Patrick Melrose.'

Crying is scary to men! To us, it's a sign that something completely earth-shattering is happening.

There are different techniques - some interventionists are really loving, others are very tough.
