“The great problem in the United States
is not repression or neurosis, which it was
in Europe when Freud wrote about everything.
No, the great problem here is not repression.
It's narcissism and addiction.
Those are our great problems in the United States
because Tommy Jefferson set us up.
‘Life, Liberty, and the… Pursuit of Happiness!'
If you pursue happiness directly, it evades you.
But you feel entitled to it…
It's wonderful, but it has a dark side.
And the dark side is addiction. Addiction.
We have done a dance with addiction in this country
from the very beginning.”
