Everyone has a past he/she wants to erase with an eraser. Mistakes and blunderings, experiences of hurting people deeply. The actress says that although they occasionally pain her and also they left the traces to people involved, as getting older, she "misses" even them very much. In life, no matter how much you struggle, "results" follow you around. So, "if you get hurt or depressed severely each time, it will be of your help and make you mature as a human being," she says. From "Leave Everything To Chance."
