I wasn't so healthy in Paris . . . I couldn't find a gym, and exercise is important to me because I am very hyper.

It was like a bad, bad depression, a very deep depression. I felt really alone. It wasn't just like, "I'm here, don't ignore me". Nothing like that. I really thought I wanted . . . I decided to. After my . . . after I tried to kill myself, when I woke up, I finally realized: Claude is not the man for me. And I am not the woman for him. I am too independent and he is too independent also.
