There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've...
