Quote

It wasn't my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn't deny it. I think the more imperfect you are, the more human you are.

If you're going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning something.

I guess I do have a childlike sense of fun, and although I still have my dark days, I'm generally an optimistic person. The way things have gone in my life, sure, I could have been a bitter person. But I just find bitter people really un-fun, you know? And who wants to be that person?

It's been such a struggle to learn all that I have I wouldn't want to give any of that knowledge up. That's why I've always loved acting as a kid, I didn't necessarily like my real life, so I could escape into these other characters and experience a life completely different from my own.

I've produced and gotten to do a lot of optimistic love stories, and that was so where I was at for 10 years in my life. And now I feel like, Okay, now I know how to do that. I want to get scared again I want to feel the way I felt when I started my company, when I started producing.

I want to be with the man who wants to open a movie studio with me and make films for new, fresh filmmakers who aren't getting a chance somewhere else. I haven't yet had that type of partnership in a romantic relationship.

Image
I really have created a family. I work with the people I love, I travel with them, I make films with them, and I'm in an office with them. So in a weird way - I know I haven't birthed a child - I feel that I'm a part of creating a family. It's a tribe. I love that word.

I'm a very research-, homework-oriented person.

The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.

I think I’m moody because I’m a woman. I can ask any man in this room, like women are just inherently like, moody or hormonal people. I don’t know how men deal with it. I praise them.

My life takes me all over the world, and I know how hard that can be on a relationship.
Drew Barrymore

I think a breakup can be the beginning of a friendship. That's not me trying to make everything OK - it's me saying, No, we love each other. Let's not pretend we don't.

I live for makeup and I like wine. These are my truths!

I love the very exposed, humorous, imperfect, never-trying to-pretend-to-be-perfect journey that I have been on in my life.
Drew Barrymore
Image
There's a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there's no person I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going. I want to create my own road.
Drew Barrymore
Image
I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.
Drew Barrymore
Image
Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.

I try each day, each month, each year to become a better and better person and to be good to the people I love and let them know how much I appreciate them.
