Sharon Stone has shown that her life has been a challenging journey, and through it all, she has proven to be a survivor.

In a heartfelt interview with the BBC published on Wednesday, the 66-year-old actress became emotional while discussing the advice she would give her younger self.

“You are going to get through this,” an emotional Stone stated, recalling a brain hemorrhage she endured 23 years ago. “You might not realize it, but you will come out okay. I would want to have that phrase tattooed on the inside of my eyelids.”

She elaborated: “I wish I had known that during the tough times like when I was lying on the floor unable to call an ambulance. When I came home (from the hospital) and saw in People magazine that it would take 30 days to know if I would survive.”

An artery rupture leading to a brain bleed and stroke resulted in Stone facing a 1% chance of survival. At the time, the “Basic Instinct” actress was 43 years old and had to relearn how to walk and speak after this health crisis. She told the British publication that she has since overcome these challenges. “It’s been a while, and I’m fine… it’s behind me… everyone made it through,” she shared.

Stone also expressed her views on political matters and spoke openly about President-elect Donald Trump’s latest election win.

“I perceive the world somewhat differently than many in my country. That doesn’t mean I’m not patriotic,’ Stone remarked, emphasizing that she would “respect the office of the president… as that is the essence of democracy.”

Last month, Stone stirred controversy while commenting on American politics, criticizing a segment of the population she deemed “uneducated” and marked by “extraordinary naïveté.”

Speaking at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, Stone made remarks that appeared to reference Trump, stating, “We need to take a moment to reflect on who we choose for leadership, and whether we are truly selecting our government or if it’s selecting itself.”

Stone went on to convey that the U.S. is currently “going through an adolescent phase.”

“Adolescence is marked by arrogance. Young people think they know everything,” she characterized. “Adolescence can be naive, ignorant, and boastful. Right now, we find ourselves amidst this ignorant, arrogant adolescence.”
