Recently, Ryan Phillippe sat down for an interview with Elle Magazine. In the interview, he opens up about his depression. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"You know, depression has been a huge obstacle for me ever since I was a child. As you get older I think it decreases some, but I'm just innately kind of a sad person. I'm empathetic, and I take on the feelings of others and transpose myself onto the position of others. It can ruin our fucking life. I'd prefer to suffer through the sadness than to be a complete moron with no feelings [though]. I'm way funnier than people know me to be. And it's a dark humor, like a gallows humor. I think that's where, if you do carry any of that sadness or depression, your humor does tend to be a little darker than most people."
