I think it's terribly irresponsible, but not unexpected from the Scientologists. I believe that they lose control of their base. I think it's easier for the Scientologists with their special brew of subtle manipulation and mind control to be supplying a lot of what ADD sufferers might need. If you look at Scientology and why they come after the entertainment business, you're dealing with a whole lot of independent thinking people who are capable of thinking out there…they're looking for something. They are people who, to come to the west coast, have broken from family. They're alone, in a very lonely environment that is highly competitive, and all of a sudden you belong to this church who essentially gives you your foundation. Gives you your substance, gives you your spine. God forbid you should take a drug and figure out that you don't really need them controlling your life, they'd lose a little bit of their base. I just think it's incredibly impossible for somebody like Tom Cruise to have any idea what he's talking about. The fact is, I didn't want to have to believe that I was suffering from something. I finally surrendered to the concept. If you were to ask me at 19 or 20 if I'd be taking a drug in my thirties, for the rest of my life, I'd have called me weak. As an adult, you start realizing that there are just certain things that you have to surrender to, because [the drugs] are making up for a deficiency.
