Be able to go shopping for a bathing suit and not become depressed afterward.

I have all these rules for avoiding depression. One is going outside in the morning. I don't keep breakfast in the house, so that I have to go out first thing when I first wake up. And then I come back and shower.

You want to keep the severity of our environmental problems in mind enough to keep yourself motivated but not enough to paralyze you into depression.

You can't drown yourself in drink. I've tried, you float.

Yes, I suffer terribly from depression. I have to work at being happy, it's not my natural instinct. My natural instinct is, if something wonderful happens, to throw water in my own face.

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.

I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach.
