I've definitely gone through phases where I'm not happy with my life, and you notice in little ways until they start adding up.
I went through a phase of deep introspection. I realised that while doing films back to back, I was getting burnt out and not concentrating on quality. I wasn't preparing for my role and was working like a machine. When I saw the result on the big screen, I felt that the work I'd done was horrible.
I am not in 'O I hate relationships' phase. I will never be in that phase.
We all go through phases; in one such phase, I was interested to know about the psychic phenomenon.
I definitely went through this whole phase of seeing what my seniors or friends would be wearing and just copying that.
I do not shy away from accepting that I had a troubled past, but in the journey of coming out of that dark phase, I understand humans better. I am less judgmental and more compassionate. I learned empathy and forgiveness, and that gives me confidence as a person.
Life surprises you. It happens to the best of actors, we have good and bad phases.
Let me tell you exactly what we would do on Social Security. Yes, we'd raise the retirement age two years and phase it in over 25 years; that means we'd raise it one month a year for 25 years when we're all living longer, and living better lives.
Everything that I learned in the Navy, I took it with me into the next phase of my life.
I very classically would go into manic phases, which were as dangerous, if not more so, than the depressed phases, and I think I'd come up with the best ideas I ever had, and then the next day, I'd look at them and be like, 'This is nonsense,' because it was born out of a manic episode. What a waste of time.
