Michelle Rodriguez Talks About The Effect That Paul Walker's Death Had On Her Life

Michelle Rodriguez recently sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, where she talked about the loss of her frequent costar Paul Walker. The publication quotes her as follows:

"I actually went on a bit of a binge. I went pretty crazy. A lot of the stuff I did last year I would never do had I been in my right mind. I could see Paul once every two years and just know there was another human on the planet who's deep like me, who loves like that. When that disappears, you wonder, 'Wait a minute, what do I hold on to?' There was nothing to tether me to this existence: 'Why am I fucking here? And, like, why'd you leave without me?'

I was pushing myself to feel. I felt nothing I could do could make me feel alive, so I just kept pushing myself harder and harder. I was traveling, and I was having sex. And I was just trying to ignore everything that I was feeling. I just woke up [one morning] with a profound respect for living. I stood tall one day, and I said, 'You know what, Michelle? Stop fucking hiding. Go manifest.' And all of a sudden, I picked myself up and started hustling."
