“I've never had very high regard for therapists. I owe my health, my me...” — Salman Rushdie Quote

“I've never had very high regard for therapists. I owe my health, my mental survival, to my friends and loved ones.”

“'The Satanic Verses' was denied the ordinary life of a novel. It became something smaller and uglier: an insult.”

“I'm not a very big fan of 'Slumdog Millionaire.' I think it's visually brilliant. But I have problems with the story line. I find the storyline unconvincing.”

“I'm actually one of the sharper tools in the box that haven't been in the streets like that, but I have family members, close loved ones, that that's all they know.”

“The ability to reach my loved ones within moments is something on which I often rely.”

“It doesn't matter if you are gay or straight: the man should have strength to take care of families and take care of loved ones.”
