Christina Ricci, 44, admits that she has faced financial hardship and negative feelings about her appearance over the years.
Having to support her family over the years.
"I've gone through periods as an adult where we were really, really broke. You just have that thing of, 'I don't ever want to feel this way ever again.' It's like this visceral feeling. I don't ever want to feel this helpless, because I think that's what not having a lot of money makes you feel like. You feel very helpless. There's a ton of that pressure and it's hard. You have to work to support your family but at the same time you working takes away time from your family. So yeah, it's difficult but I'm in a really good place now. Again, I have a really supportive husband."
Scial media can affect a person's self-esteem.
"It can just put you in a really vulnerable position. You do hear the negative stuff the loudest, and it's tough. I have experience with a person who his whole thing is just posting horrible, nasty things about me. It's like all stuff that's made up -- horrible things about my children, my family. So I've just really had to ignore it. It's that school ground mentality... but on such a huge level and such a public platform."
Insecure about her looks while doing press for Yellowjackets.
"When I started doing press for Yellowjackets and having to post on social media images of myself, just even as somebody over 40, I had a really hard time. I had a really hard time seeing these images. I had a really hard time reposting them. I really couldn't reconcile caring about what I looked like so much. ...It was so hard for me. But we have to find ways to navigate it where it doesn't emotionally drag us down."
