Putting your name on something and having no idea how it came about if someone else did all the work - that's not me.

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.

Image
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.

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 didn't grow up in a traditional family, and I never had a family dinner around the table, so whenever I actually had a dinner 'plan,' it meant a lot to me it made me feel excited and safe.

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.

Speaking of important things, there are so many battles right now that people are fighting for that it's overwhelming, but I am always in favor of people who crusade for the sake of people's hearts and their well-being. That is what is important.

My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled.
Drew Barrymore
Image
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.

I cry a lot. I'll cry because I see a person walking down the street looking lonely.
Drew Barrymore
Image
I still feel like I have a lot to prove. My biggest burning question is 'How much more are you capable of?'
Drew Barrymore
Image
It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.

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.

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

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.

And people say it all the time: 'You're a celebrity.' No, I'm an actor. I'm a producer. I'm a director. I'm a toad. I'm roadkill. I'm anything but a celebrity.

I don't want to sit around and hope good things happen. I want to make them happen.

Girls want to be with guys who have a sense of humor-it makes them far more attractive to us.
