Actress Emma Stone has admitted she is fascinated with death and life afterwards.
The 26-year-old Hollywood beauty said she's always wondered what happens after you've passed away and believes her morbid curiosity stems from her childhood and upbringing, reported Australia's Cleo magazine.
"I was always conscious that life is finite and was interested in really gloomy things like death, ghosts and cemeteries," Stone, who appeared on the magazine's cover, said.
However, the 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' star said her dark thoughts on death have encouraged her to grab every opportunity with both hands because she is conscious nothing lasts forever.
"I was just a really crazy child. But there's also something positive about this attitude: when you are constantly aware that you will die one day, you appreciate life all the more and really live it to the fullest.
"I always try to act according to my belief, and my parents see things the same way. They supported me in my acting plans precisely because they believe you have to use your time well. That's also why my mother moved to Los Angeles with me when I was 15.
