My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and it`s like therapy.
Pamela Anderson
When David [Arquette] and I got engaged we started therapy together. I`d heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
Courteney Cox
For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I`m not working, I`m always living in my own world, imagining characters.
Eva Green
I have not been an easygoing guy. I think it`s called bipolar manic depression. I`ve got a rich history of that in my family. Our family has publicly gone into therapy, so that`s out in the open.
Ben Stiller
I`ve never found therapy to be a sign of weakness; I`ve found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength. (2005)
Brooke Shields
My music has been a sort of personal therapy. It`s got me out of tough times, it has been the friend that I needed, when I didn`t have a friend there.
Trent Reznor
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.
Jennifer Leigh
[opon seeing Sigmund Freud`s therapy couch] It was a very tiny little thing. All his theories were based on the analysis of very short people!
Billy Wilder
(On facing mid-life crisis.) "I can`t speak for all women, but I do think that... I mean, me and my girlfriends, we definitely...we`re in crisis on a continuous basis...or at least monthly, for sure, I don`t know. It`s funny because we just bust ourselves...
Helen Slater
Actually, I hold a degree in speech therapy. I was going to get my doctorate but acting got in the way. Pity, I always thought I`d like to do something dignified.
Madeline Kahn
[in 2005] "I became an actor because I believed I was a failure. In acting, because so few of us ever get work, I could feel proud and fail with dignity. I was born into what I now know was a dysfunctional family. I found that out in therapy three weeks a...
Dustin Hoffman
There was a time when I couldn`t leave the house until I`d smoked three joints, taken tranquilisers and drunk a bottle of Bourbon. So this is my last chance to get things right. People usually go into my sort of therapy for a month then come out and slowl...
Charlie Sheen
I love doing Callisto. It`s therapy. I mean, wouldn`t you love it, if you got to scream and yell and you got to fight people and you got a sword and no one yelled at you? ... No, I didn`t study ... It`s just from the inside.
Hudson Leick
I used to be under the impression that in some kind of wanky, bullshit way, acting was like therapy: you get in and grapple with and exorcise all those demons inside of you. I don`t believe that anymore. It`s like a snow shaker. You shake the thing up, bu...
Gary Oldman
I`m going to stop acting in the next few years because it`s just too weird. You have to constantly be willing to live in a scary, emotional place, which is why actors are in therapy all the time.
Freddie Prinze JR
[On filming her torture scenes in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).] I had bad dreams before shooting, but when we started, it was cathartic. I screamed so much, it was like primal therapy. (2007)
Brooke Smith
You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.
Fran Drescher
Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.
Michelle Shocked
Work is great therapy. When you have a job you can do almost anything. You can have medical insurance. You can get your kids back in school. You can buy a house. Work solves a lot of problems,
