Life is not about focusing on the obstacles. It's about how you handle them, and whether you get enlightenment or levity from the way you do it

More quotes by Drew Barrymore
When you're young, you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it, in a sense, too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden, one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.

Indecision is the most unsexy thing on the planet. I don't know if I'm sexy but I think decisiveness is sexy. I also lose trust and faith in them when I realise I'm a bit on my own and that's a very disheartening feeling.
Drew Barrymore
My life choices are not supposed to be the gateway to somebody else's. That's my journey.
Drew Barrymore
A thank-you can be just as meaningful as a soulful ten-page message.
Drew Barrymore
I know what the intimidation level of high school is. You're on a hamster wheel, running, running, running, trying so hard to fit in. It's all about how you deal with what you're given, feeling OK with being the odd man out before you're finally successful.
Drew Barrymore
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
I no longer have the fear of being alone. It's cool to find out that you don't need a boyfriend to be happy.
Drew Barrymore
If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.
Drew Barrymore
I've spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love... I’ve stopped believing in happy endings. I’ve started believing in good days.
Drew Barrymore
I am who I am because of the people who influenced me growing up, and many of them were gay. No one has any right to tell anyone what makes a family
Drew Barrymore
It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.
Drew Barrymore
I don't want to sit around and hope good things happen. I want to make them happen.
Drew Barrymore
I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'
Drew Barrymore
I think that we all have to have that rite of passage of dating the tortured artist who seems cooler than we think we are we aspire to be like them, and we're excited that somebody is turning us on to new music or a new lifestyle.
Drew Barrymore
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?
Drew Barrymore
Everything I do, I do infinite percent.

When [my friend] had her kid, she was like, 9:30?! I'm not living in Barcelona. I need dinner at 6. I never got that until now. Four years ago, when I met her, I thought that was extreme. I was like, I love Barcelona! Now, I'm so mad when someone suggests an 8 pm reservation because that means we won't eat until 8:30 or 9 pm. Forget it!
Drew Barrymore
I don't cook, I can't cook, and it is really abominable to see me in the kitchen. I order in takeaway food or get my friends to cook because a lot of them are very good.
Drew Barrymore
A few years ago, I bought an old red bicycle with the words Free Spirit written across its side - which is exactly what I felt like when I rode it down the street in a tie-dyed dress.
Drew Barrymore
I cry a lot. I'll cry because I see a person walking down the street looking lonely.
