Okay, should we address him as Dr. Tom Cruise from now on? Or will the Rev. Dr. Cruise suffice?
Whatever: Anybody who watched the actor's performance on NBC's "Today" show yesterday witnessed an unsettling transformation. The movie star, who has long embraced Scientology, launched a full-bore assault on the psychiatric profession, sticking to a script that his church (founded, mind you, by a hack science fiction writer) has been promoting for decades.
"Psychiatry is a pseudoscience," he told host Matt Lauer, later saying: "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do."...

Well look at it this way, Cruise was just playing his natural role.(The Role Of A Fool)NSNR
Tom Cruise and his "action hero" poses. The guy can`t even talk to someone without doing these poses of his. Cruise is definately gay, I use to work with a gay guy who acted just like him, he would subconciously always do these poses just like Cruise. The only difference was he was out of the closet.
I think the whole mystery with Cruise is he doesn`t want to be gay and truly thinks this Scientology can cure him, and I think that is one of the reasons he went crazy on Oprah becasue he thinks he is cured. But to me it looks like a Tony Perkins type of deal. Like Tony Perkins said, the only time he ever had an orgasm with a woman is when he went to bed with Victoria Principal, and I think this same thing happened with Cruise and this girl. They`ll get married but Toms gayness will wreck it.
I can't wait to see his head explode when someone asks him that!
That said ------- Ritalin is a very dangerous drug. And I'm very glad my two sons are adults and raising their families - because if they were children in school I KNOW the teachers would be suggesting a drug - if we were in a district that encouraged drugs for mostly boys. My sons did not talk softly, did not walk slowly, would rather be on the field than in the classroom -- they were boys and very different from girls.
Tom Cruise is unraveling. It should be entertaining and sad to watch him over the next few years. Such irratic behaviour.
Or diabetes. Maybe Cruise can tell diabetics how they can "mentally" produce insulin since according to him "there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance".
They were married weren't they? Anthony Perkins and Victoria Principle.
Deja vu all over again. Why is it newsworthy that another
ill-educated Hollywood nitwit has embraced a cult?
Every psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor before he even
specializes in mental illnesses. Where does that leave
Cruse? I suppose he also shows his superior insight by
joining the rest of the Hollywood boobs by supporting Kerry.
Ridiculing Scientology should be a crime?
Are you sure you woudn't you be happier living in North Korea?
I don't know. He sounds to me like a devout Muslim talking about his faith. He's not quite able to tell us everything.
Well thought out, cogent, and spot on.. like that...
My thoughts exactly! No one wants to take meds for their imbalances, but if they help, why suffer?
He hasn't got a clue, but he thinks he's an expert because he read some books! What a dope! What he needs is to go through a severe case of depression or develop diabetes then try to "cure" himself with vitamins and exercise. C'mon Tom, show us how it's done!
You sound like a Scientology lawyer.
Wrong.. Scientology is not a religion its a GANG..
Google a bit for the evidence..
I needed that laugh today, thanks!
The second page of the article says the interview continues Monday.
I mean, like, dude, those were total classics. :P
I'll be sure not to tune in then, too.
