Actress Kirsten Dunst talks, guardedly, about her recent visit to Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab facility in the upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar (which features her smiling face on the cover, timed to promote her upcoming movie, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People").

"I don't want to get into too much detail," Dunst tells interviewer Marshall Heyman, "because I give a quote and then it's blogged about on the Internet for the rest of my life." (Like this one.)

But Dunst does get into what brought her to the Cirque Lodge, when she was "enormously co-dependent":

"I wasn't taking care of myself emotionally. I wasn't expressing my anger. I was making nice all the time. When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people’s approval. If I’d trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine. But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I've got it. ... Now, I’m great."

The new issue hits newsstands Sept. 23.
