Sharon Stone talks about the value of 'instant forgiveness for yourself' amid mental health struggles

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sharon Stone got emotional as she disclosed her battles to overcome her mental health struggles during a new interview.

“We’re all trying to confront our demons, and we’re all acting out — me, too,” the 66-year-old Hollywood star said on 'Turkish Tea Talk with Alex Salmond' Thursday, April 25, “and trying to figure out how to keep getting back up, keep helping people up even if we put them down, and make sure we’re all back up.”

The 'Basic Instinct' star, who works with the World Health Organization, noted that one in 10 people “on a global level” are having “a mental crisis.”

Sharon Stone says people should try to fix themselves rather than rely on government policies

The 'Sliver' actress then shared that she believes people should be trying to fix themselves instead of relying on just political figures for policies that may help them.

“To try to say, it has to be our leaders, well, which leader do you think that’s going to be? It must start with the individual,” Stone explained, according to Page Six.

“You must stand strong, and when you blow it? OK, so what? That was two steps ago.” She reiterated, “You have to get back up, get yourself together and help whoever you think you bumped around, and keep moving forward — and instant forgiveness. Instant forgiveness for yourself.”

Sharon Stone on how she used her stardom to advocate for marginalized groups

Moments later in the discussion with the Turkish news show, Stone became emotional when discussing how she used her Hollywood platform to advocate for marginalized groups.

In 2013, the 'Casino' actress became a Nobel Laureate after receiving the Peace Summit Award for her work for people with HIV and AIDS.

“Suddenly, I was like, ‘I’m in the right goddamn room.’ These are my people,” Stone said of how she felt when attending a panel about how to create global peace. Becoming more emotional, she added amid tears, “I would stand in the street with these people. I would risk my lives for these people. These people get me, I get them.”

"It took 35 years, but I’m in the right room, and I never told people here, in LA, that I even won. I didn’t tell anybody because I thought, ‘How can I tell people in the movie business that I won a Nobel prize?’" Stone concluded.
