I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

Depression is something that doesn't just go away. It's just... there and you deal with it. It's like... malaria or something. Maybe it won't be cured, but you've got to take the medication you're prescribed, and you stay out of situations that are going to trigger it.

Bipolar disorder, manic depression, depression, black dog, whatever you want to call it, is inherent in our society. It's a product of stress and in my case over-work.

I'm blind without my glasses.

Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It's the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.

I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn't talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college.

Mile high club, it's got its ups and downs.
