A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.

Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.

I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

As a teenager, even as a younger girl, I had some depression but no one really noticed that it was depression nor did I know in those days that that's what it was but I did feel different from other people.

A big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you're in a room full of a million people.

I still get awful depression. It's who I am.

I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.

Trust me, you know when you've got depression.

It's like you asked me about the depression thing: you grope towards an understanding of whatever it is your going through, and it's not personal, there are forces in play around you, and you seek to understand them and that way you can go on.

I think it's really important for your mental health to think about the big questions, to discuss them and open your mind, in order to prepare you for both life and death.
