" Driving on the freeway scared me for a long time. In fact, I was completely incapable of it. I'd take the smaller roads where, weirdly, I felt more comfortable. I talked a lot about it to the shrink because I didn't understand why I was so afraid, and also because it was a real handicap for work and life in general. And it's one of the few subjects about which he deigned to tell me his opinion... He told me that, if you really thought about it, a car had many points with a coffin... that accelerating to unnatural speeds on a road where you know nothing of the people piloting the other coffins made you think... and that, under these conditions, it seemed to him fairly legitimate to be afraid. Since the, I've not been afraid anymore. Psychoanalysis is funny... "
