I looooove cookbooks. I cook a lot when I'm pregnant.
Drew Barrymore
I think my whole life, work has been a very important and positive thing for me. It never was something that made me feel unhappy or disengaged from life. It always makes me feel like I'm plugged in, in a really healthy way.
Drew Barrymore
You can't treat a romantic relationship the same way you do a business one, by being bossy. It takes tender, compromising, loving tactics. And that's such a different approach.
Drew Barrymore
Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.
Drew Barrymore
I think video village is bullshit. It's like it's a breeding ground for people to nitpick and feel important. It's just such a weird dynamic.
Drew Barrymore
If you're going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning something.
Drew Barrymore
Kissing in the movies is a real art - figuring out where to put your heads so it looks good on camera. I have had other co-stars who couldn't work that out, which made it a lot harder for me.

A thank-you can be just as meaningful as a soulful ten-page message.
Drew Barrymore
If you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the most out of it.
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.
Drew Barrymore
Kissing - and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down.
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
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
Sometimes you come to a point where there's nothing more you can do. You love and respect each other, but it's not working. So you amicably decide to part. I don't know what the future holds: a lot of people get back together after they break up.
Drew Barrymore
I love being single. It's great. I get to be who I am and do what I want and be with the people I love. I feel like I have everything and I'm very fortunate, and it's very rich fulfilling time in my life.
Drew Barrymore
Some of the mini-worlds that filmmakers have created are so ingrained in my love of culture.
Drew Barrymore
If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.
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
I was raised in that generation where it was all 'Women can have it all!' and I don't think you can. I think something falls off the table. The good thing is that the things that stay on the table become so much more important.
Drew Barrymore
Oh, I would love to be a motivational speaker. I have pulled myself out of a million potholes, and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn't mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes.
Drew Barrymore
