Quote from Frasier in Frasier's Edge
Dr. Tewksbury: So, you were drawn to psychiatry not because you like to help people, but because you feared them. Frasier: I feared them? Dr. Tewksbury: Psychiatry gives you objectivity. Objectivity gives you emotional distance. Distance makes you feel safe. Frasier: Yes, yes, granted. But what does that got to do with me? Dr. Tewksbury: How's your practice? Frasier: I don't have a practice, I have a radio show. Dr. Tewksbury: Distance. Any children? Frasier: Yes, I have a wonderful son with whom I'm very close. Dr. Tewksbury: You live with him? Frasier: He lives in Boston. Dr. Tewksbury: Distance. With your wife. Frasier: My ex-wife. Yes, I know, distance. Dr. Tewksbury: Wasn't she a psychiatrist? Frasier: Yes, she was. She happens to be a damn good one, too. Dr. Tewksbury: Well, that's a handy choice for someone who'd rather share ideas than emotions. Frasier: Have you ever met Lilith? Dr. Tewksbury: No. Frasier: Well, she happens to be a very warm and loving woman!
