Paula Patton highlights the importance of her son Julian in her journey to sobriety, declaring him her best friend who helped her navigate major life changes. Reflecting on her role as a woman dealing with addiction in the film "Finding Faith," she relates it closely to her personal experiences. Having been sober for seven years, she faced the challenge of portraying a character inebriated, recalling the mindset of her past while also seeking support from others who understood her situation. Ultimately, she emphasizes the significance of self-forgiveness in her recovery journey.
"My son, he is my best friend. When I got sober, it just changed my life... I got to live life again, like a kid through him."
"A lot of things mirrored my life, and I thought how can I not be honest about what I've been experiencing, that seven years ago I got sober."
"I went back. It was scary. I was scared. But then something happened. I was able to forgive myself."
"But going back and having to play being inebriated when I hadn't been inebriated for seven years, I was like, 'How am I going to do that?'"
