Instead it fed it, gave sầu people license lớn feel they were part of it."

Ryder described the split as a heartbreaking time in her life, và in 2009 told Elle UK she was depressed afterwards. "I had just done "Dracula" and "Edward Scissorhands". I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak," she said.
