Noir: conjunción de varios factores. Por lo visto llevaba años arrastrando problemas de depresión y ansiedad. Parece que le vino bien tener un parón y descansar.
What about that other time you were referring to earlier—the time later on, when you were struggling with the perception that people had of you and what you could do or couldn't do?
RYDER: That's something that people... You know, that was something I was dealing with before that thing that happened [Ryder's 2001 arrest for shoplifting]. I was starting to have some trouble before that. I think a lot of people think that that is what sort of sent me off in another direction, but I was actually starting to have some trouble a few years before. And then there were also a couple of movies that I was going to do, that were all set up, and then, at the last minute, they fell apart. I remember that there was a Milos Forman movie with an incredible script, but something happened with the funding, and it was just, you know, bad luck. So I did come up against what felt like a wall. And with what happened... I was living up in San Francisco and I really needed the time off, which ended up being a couple of years. In a weird way, it was almost like the best thing that could have happened because I'd never asked myself the question before of, "Is it okay if I'm not going to act? Is there anything else?" because that was all that I really knew. But what I eventually realized was that there were all these other things that I was interested in that I had sort of tried before, but I'd always had to stop because I had to go to work.
