A guy said to me one time, something really profound, and it's so simple. It's that depression lies. It's a liar and you have to shut it down.

People can't even get out of bed and it gets really severe. I've never been at that stage. Everyone goes through low and high and low and high and some people are blessed to be created on an even keel all the way through - but not me.

Mel Gibson
