Her drug abuse led her into a dark and sad world, says actress Amanda Bynes, who is now excited for the future and a return to acting. Bynes opened up about drug abuse in an interview for Paper Magazine's cover story, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

After stepping away from the spotlight, Bynes described herself as being someone who had "no purpose in life" and spending her time being "stoned all day long." She also got into company comprising a "seedier crowd'.
