Fear frightened me.

So that was my toxic narcissism by not being able to be intimate with people.

And I developed a sense of humor and

But that sense of humor was also toxic because it helped me avoid, you know, if any serious situation would come in, I had a joke.

A person could tell me they're dying in three days and I would joke about it.

And a friend of mine gave me a book.

Now, psychology, up until the point to the 1970s, I don't think you remember this,

It was all psychoanalysis.

And it was a lying job.

You'd lie on the couch and the shrink would be writing something down, never looking at you.

And then at the end of the hour, it would come up with some kind of interpretation about your life, okay?

That was psychoanalysis.

Suddenly, something appears that was such a...

drastic change in the world of psychodynamics.

It was called Gestalt.

My friend handed me this book and said, I think you would like this, because I was also a director in those days.

I was directing plays and movies and acting in them, and there was a lot of things about emotion that I couldn't do.

I mean, if a director asked me to get in touch with my sadness or a deep pain or something,

I could, I could actually, oh, I could, no, no, no, Lenny, that's not real.

Go into your real pain, come to the camera.
