"I still don't have my acting career back. I would really like to work again as an actor so much… not just as a weak, supporting part," the actress told The Times newspaper.

Stone wants to get back to her career in acting, following a 2001 stroke.

"I'd like to really have the parts that I have earned and can do. I would really like to have my own real career back. I would really like to have my life back."

The actress said that she went through hell after the stroke, which impacted every area of her life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Stone said: "Because it took seven years to really recover, and I did lose custody of my child. And I did lose my career, and I did lose $15 million - every cent I had - in child support and court fees… So I didn't really bounce back and have a rebirth."

"I would really like to have my life back. I didn't rebound, and it isn't some kind of wonderful story. It'd be great if it was, but it isn't. I survived," she added.

Stone shared that doctors only gave her just a per cent chance of survival.

"I pretty much knew it was serious when I came to the floor and I couldn't get up, and I kept calling for help, and I couldn't get it. I thought: 'I'm having a stroke'," she said.

The actress was going through “psychological chaos.”.

"I couldn't walk. I couldn't talk. I couldn't read. I couldn't write my own name. I was stuttering. When I reached for something, I had no depth perception. It was complete psychological chaos."
