[Vanity Fair, December 2012] There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny Depp did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, 'What do I do?,' he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!
