Deep-thinking Cotillard's Childhood Trauma....

Oscar nominee Marion Cotillard sunk into such a deep depression at the tender age of nine, because she "didn't want to live" any longer.The La Vie En Rose star questioned her purpose in life at a very early age - and Cotillard admits the truths she exposed along the way left her wishing she was never born.She says, "I really started to ask myself, 'What am I doing here? What are human beings doing here?' I so wanted to understand, and I didn't."What I (wanted) in my mind was something like a perfect world, with a perfect understanding of everything. I thought that people were logical about life and respect and love. And when I started realising it was not that way at all, I felt I didn't want to live".However, she's quick to clarify that suicide was never an option: "Oh, no, I deeply love life, but I started searching quite early".
