3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore The low points I had all helped make up my character, so I probably wouldn’t want to do away with them because I like being flawed and I like having them help me grow and change and become better and stronger.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I love romance. I’m a sucker for it. I love it so much. It’s pathetic.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore Whether you’re throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don’t trust women who don’t go to their girlfriends.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I’d definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child’s dreams. I’d just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do… I think I’d be a good parent, actually.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore If you’re going to go through hell… I suggest you come back learning something.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore Great dad. Yeah, he would ask me for money on birthdays and, you know, inappropriate times. And I just wrote him off like, ‘You’re not a father.’ I just learned you cannot emotionally invest in people who are not attainable.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I’m so in control of my life, you shouldn’t dislike anything I do-because I’m not only in the best place I’ve ever been, but it keeps getting better and better.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can’t take myself too seriously.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore You can’t live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn’t do for you. You’re dealt the cards that you’re dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.

3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore Being a Barrymore didn’t help me, other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I’m just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I’m not after fame and success and fortune and power. It’s mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends that’s the good stuff in life.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn’t resemble the original dish at all.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore My therapist says I still haven’t got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I’m going to explode. But I’m still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing – all those experiences led me to the paths that I’m on now.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore It’s only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning.
