Drew Barrymore quotes about
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.
I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.
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 want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect.
There's a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there's no person I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going. I want to create my own road.
You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter.
I always leave a relationship with a sense of hope.
I swear to god; happiness is the best makeup.

I'm certainly not an uptight home owner.
I want to be with the man who wants to open a movie studio with me and make films for new, fresh filmmakers who aren't getting a chance somewhere else. I haven't yet had that type of partnership in a romantic relationship.
Putting your name on something and having no idea how it came about if someone else did all the work - that's not me.
Celebrity! It's become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm such an avid magazine reader - music, art, beauty magazines - and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.
