Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets. If no one told ya today, I love you. No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another. Keep going, kiddos. Don't quit before the miracle. Wallpaper your mind with love. Rest is all noise & baloney," Lyonne continued.The actress battled addiction to drugs and alcohol throughout the 2000s. As per a report shared by Variety, Lyonne's ascent was derailed after problems with the law. As reported by Entertainment Weekly in 2012, tabloids and websites hounded her. In 2001, she was arrested for a DUI. Three years later, she was charged with mischief, trespass, and harassment of a neighbor. In 2005, she suffered from a collapsed lung."Spiraling into addiction is really, really scary. Some things have a very A-to-B scientific effect. Like, alcohol is a depressant. Cocaine is a stimulant. And then: Cocaine plus heroin is bad! That's the point of my story, that's the moral. Coke plus heroin equals speedball. And speedball equals bad, you know?" Lyonne said. Lyonne wondered out aloud:"It's weird to talk about. I was definitely as good as dead, you know? A lot of people don't come back. That makes me feel wary, and self-conscious. I wouldn't want to feel prideful about it," she shared."People really rallied around me and pulled me up by my f—ing bootstraps. There was a warrant for my arrest, which helped too," Lyonne shared with a laugh," added Lyonne.The Fantastic Four: First Steps World Premiere - Source: GettyNatasha Lyonne discussed the meaning of life in an interview with The Cut in 2019. She brought up Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning."Have you ever read Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning? It's a hot book, right? I think it really sums it up. You have to find something beyond self. If it's all about self-propulsion, it's going to feel really dirty at some point," she shared. Lyonne continued:"On a smaller scale, we find the things we're good at and have a natural interest in and see the ways in which we can help illuminate the human condition through those tools. Some people can do it with a greater scope and poetry — scientists and philosophers and doctors. That does not seem to be in my wheelhouse. We've essentially cracked polio, but certainly I wasn't going to be a participating member in that solution," she shared"I might be able to help distract the scientists cracking it a little bit, or the person in the iron lung who needed a little bit of relief to fight another day," she added.In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, she said:"I'm such an open book that I have no problem talking about it and speaking freely, but I've sort of said my piece on the subject," she said.Lyonne added more thoughts on the feelings behind addiction."The truth is, at the back of that addiction are feelings that so many of us have, that don't go away," she shared.She continued:"Isn't everyone entitled to a moment of existential breakdown in a lifetime? Adulthood is making peace with being kind to oneself when a response to life that's so much more organic and immediate would be to self-destruct," she said.Which is your favourite work of hers?
