Drew Barrymore quotes about
My twenties were about exploring love and being a wildflower and trying to figure everything out. Now I'm not comfortable being that happy wildflower anymore, but I still don't feel like a woman. I wonder when that moment's going to hit.
I've always said that one night, I'm going to find myself in some field somewhere, I'm standing on grass, and it's raining, and I'm with the person I love, and I know I'm at the very point I've been dreaming of getting to.
I don't really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there.
I don't want to sit around and hope good things happen. I want to make them happen.
There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.
I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.
I looooove cookbooks. I cook a lot when I'm pregnant.
The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example.
I have certainly had my share of long-distance love affairs.
It's been such a struggle to learn all that I have; I wouldn't want to give any of that knowledge up. That's why I've always loved acting; as a kid, I didn't necessarily like my real life, so I could escape into these other characters and experience a life completely different from my own.
I'm okay with the idea that slow and steady wins the race.
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
I could never be cynical, not that I think there's anything wrong with cynicism. I think it can be quite funny at times. But I just feel so grateful to be alive.
I think a breakup can be the beginning of a friendship. That's not me trying to make everything OK - it's me saying, "No, we love each other. Let's not pretend we don't."
