If we make people believe that before the age of 16 they got sick drinking vodka, they don't want to drink as much vodka.

When we remember something, we're taking bits and pieces of experience - sometimes from different times and places - and bringing it all together to construct what might feel like a recollection but is actually a construction.

My work has made me tolerant of memory mistakes by family and friends. You don't have to call them lies. I think we could be generous and say maybe this is a false memory.

Memory, like liberty, is a fragile thing.

We all have memories that are malleable and susceptible to being contaminated or supplemented in some way.

Without independent corroboration, little can be done to tell a false memory from a true one.

You can go in there and change it, but so can other people.
