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
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.
Drew Barrymore
I'd rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy life than be worried all the time.
Drew Barrymore
I would love to be a travel writer. I'd be so stoked.
Drew Barrymore
You have to fight unhappiness like a dragon with fire and breathe.
Drew Barrymore
I'm very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention.
Drew Barrymore
I mean, I come from a hippie mentality where I just think to know someone, you need to look into their eyes. Eyes are so important. Until they start melon-balling eyes out, I won't be able to get to know someone another way.
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.
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.
Drew Barrymore
I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.
Drew Barrymore
There are a lot of us little gypsies out there that need to go and find another place you know. A safer, healthier or just a different venue in order to develop and find ourselves. I am so lucky to live the life that I do.
Drew Barrymore
I cry a lot. I'll cry because I see a person walking down the street looking lonely.
Drew Barrymore
I hate women who say they can eat whatever they want, because I don't relate to that at all. It isn't fair! I absolutely live for food.
Drew Barrymore
The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.
Drew Barrymore
Girls want to be with guys who have a sense of humor-it makes them far more attractive to us.
Drew Barrymore
If I die before my cat, I want a little of my ashes put in his food so I can live inside him.
Drew Barrymore
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 used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry.

Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting.
Drew Barrymore
I should attempt to write a love song, I have written lots of poetry about love so I could turn those into lyrics. I'm a sucker for romance - always have been, always will be. I love walking down the beach and listening to my iPod and belting them out. What would we do without love songs?
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.
