People are like moths. First they are ugly and awkward, until they break out of their shell and become a beautiful butterfly.

I have certainly had my share of long-distance love affairs.
Drew Barrymore
Image
I've never dated anybody older, actually. There are so many things I'm curious about, and I'd love to be able to say, Teach me. I want to learn from the people around me.

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?

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.
Drew Barrymore

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.

At 35, I'm definitely starting to feel more like a grown-up than I ever have. There's nothing in my life that is childish or whimsical. Having fun is fantastic and I never want to lose a sense of that - and also, I think, you have to have that to put into your work or else it's going to feel stiff.

Happiness takes work. It doesn't always fall off trees or come easily. You really have to be someone that doesn't fall prey to being sad. I don't want sad, I can't be sad, I don't want to be about sad I avoid sad. It inherently envelops you, so do everything that you can to escape it all the time.

When you've been locked up in a mental institution, people are going to ask questions. It was OK, because I didn't have to act perfect all the time.

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.

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.

Celebrity! It's become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I can't think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry.

I am not a rodeo clown, like, Everything is awesome! I really worked hard on myself and things and struggled to get to a good place, to a better place.

Women shouldn't be burdened by what existed in their past, we should all learn how to turn pain into strength.

I love roller coasters that make my stomach drop. One ride in Las Vegas, the Big Shot, straps you into a row of seats and catapults you into the air from the top of the Stratosphere Tower - then plummets back down. I ride it over and over it's exhilarating.

I try to be a good shiksa wife. I go to Central Synagogue in New York.

I'm a carb queen. I'll always order macaroni and cheese, but I don't want it to be fancy. I want it to be as close to Kraft Services as it can possibly get!
