I can't believe I gave that guy $90 and I could smoke tomorrow.

And then I just never smoked again.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of people, my character, Lilian Steiner, is a Freudian psychoanalyst.

And, you know, in the United States, psychoanalysis and Freud, we've kind of canceled him.

You know, we decided he's, you know, a misogynist and, you know, nobody really wanted to follow Freudian principles.

But what he was most famous for, of course, when he started was these case histories of people who came in with hysterical illnesses and said...

You know, my right arm won't move or I'm blind for no reason.

And he would say, well, let's uncover parts of your past and that will help this physical ailment.

And in this character's case, she goes there because she can't stop crying.

Not crying, but just water just keeps coming out of her eyes and she's really annoyed.

That's never happened to her.

She's not particularly sad.

She just water keeps coming out of her eyes.

So, interestingly, she goes back to this hypnosis, rolling her eyes the whole time.

And psychoanalysis and hypnosis, they started off together with Freud and then grew apart and he denounced hypnosis.

So there's this ongoing hatred between the two that gets looked at in the film.

In the film, my patients lie down on the couch, my character's patients.

In my life when I've done therapy, absolutely not.

But apparently, you know, this is how they do it.
