The problem with my peers is they don't understand television. You have to work within the confines of what executives will allow you to put on TV. Otherwise, we've not done anything, we've not really struggled to change the culture at all.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
For me, addiction exposes all of the brain mechanism under the influence of a profoundly distorted primary motivation. It's such a window into how we function as human beings. And the patient doesn't know that's happening! Doesn't believe that's happening! That's the fascinating part.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
In medicine you go from dying to chronically ill. You don't go from dying to better than you ever knew you could be. That just doesn't happen.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
My goal was always to be part of pop culture and relevant to young people, to interact with the people they hold in high esteem.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Guys are much happier when someone puts a limit on their behavior and causes them to make a real connection with another person.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I tell women to stop learning how to keep a man and make him happy, and to try figuring out what they want from a relationship, to trust their own instincts and not worry about pleasing someone else.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Students have tons of health and intimacy and relationship questions, and no one's listening to them.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
People think you go to doctors for their knowledge. You don't go to doctors for their knowledge. You go to doctors for their judgment, their instinct, what to do, how to make the right call.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
People determine the laws. But I do wish they would pass laws that enhance health, not jeopardize it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Women are upset if their partner has an intimate conversation of any kind with someone who isn't them. They consider it a violation, a betrayal. Men should think this way, but they don't.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
An Internet 'relationship' doesn't have to be catastrophically harmful to be inappropriate. Hurtful is bad enough.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Here's the acid test for appropriateness: Pretend that someone near and dear to you is witnessing what you are writing or sending, or knows what you are thinking about sending. If, say, your partner saw this behavior, how would he or she feel? That you are asking yourself this question could mean that you shouldn't be doing it!
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The Internet is a seemingly unreal environment where we think we are anonymous. It's a potentially provocative place. As a result, we may not behave the way we would in the real world. Some of us are drawn into what could become a dangerous situation.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
You don't have to have a physical relationship with someone other than your spouse or significant other to betray him or her.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I do not know Rep. Weiner. But I do know he seems to have the features of a narcissist. Narcissists feel empty. Narcissists feel invincible. But their emotional landscape is barren.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
If you don't want the world to see something you're sending, stop and think before you put it out there.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I tell young people all the time, and now I'm telling anyone, no matter what your age: You can't take back the stuff you put out there on Twitter and Facebook, even e-mails.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Millennials really don't perceive hierarchies. They either don't perceive them or don't like them.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
If someone wants to offer me some money to talk about something that I feel strongly about on Twitter - and I don't feel it's diminishing in any way my messages - I don't see why not.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The term 'doctor' has been so abused lately! I didn't live in a hospital for 10 years so that term could be bastardized.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Medicine saved my life, quite literally. I woke up every day of my training thinking, 'I love doing this,' feeling like it was so important what I was doing.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
From a health standpoint, I have metabolic syndrome, I have high triglycerides, low HDL, body fat centrally located, high blood pressure. Running really helps control my weight and that problem a lot. So if I am not running three days a week, I really miss it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
What motivates most people to change their behavior is consequences. No consequences? No behavior modification.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
In terms of establishing a connection between a therapist and a patient, that work needs to be done in person.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The way people get hooked on fame... it can behave very much like an addiction.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Addiction has a worse prognosis than most cancers. I tell someone they have cancer and they want to be airlifted to a cancer treatment center; I tell someone they have an addiction and they're going to die and they want to argue with me about the treatment.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I, myself, have not infrequently come across recovering addicts years later that I had given up on. It is like seeing a ghost come to life. The transformations can be astonishing.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
All medicine is gradations and differences and nuances. And there's such a thing as natural recovery: people spontaneously get better. It happens.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
An intervention is much more than telling someone they have a problem in a unified fashion; treatment options should be in place.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Narcissism is the result of longstanding behavioral patterns that reflect fixed brain functioning. It requires a lot of motivation to change these patterns.
