More From Drew Barrymore

I'm Not A Very Organized Person For Being Uber Work-obsessed. I Struggle To Keep It All Organized Because Everything Can Become Important And, When You Have So Many Spinning Plates, They Sometimes Can Cancel Each Other Out Because You Lose Track Of Everything.

Spinning Plates

I Have No Internet Savvy Whatsoever, But I Love Researching Things. The Internet Is My Library... Beyond That, I'm Completely Intimidated By It.

There Are So Many Pressures That Are Put Upon Young Women. Whatever We Can Do To Alleviate That And Help Women Feel Beautiful About Who We Are Inside, Which Is The Only Beauty There Truly Is, Is So Nice. Let's Get Down And Dirty. Let's Be A Real Girl.

I Always Get Nervous Before A Kissing Scene. I Make Sure I Always Brush My Teeth And Eat Lots Of Fruit And Nice Foods Rather Than Garlic. I'm Terribly Self Conscious.

I've Got Flossie Dog, And She Is Great. She And I Are Still In Love, 14 Years. That's A Relationship That Works.

I Believe That Everything Happens For A Reason, But I Think It's Important To Seek Out That Reason - That's How We Learn.

Everything Happens For A Reason

I'm A Real Stay-at-home Mom. I'm Really Hands-on. Everything Else Became Secondary.

I Never Regret Anything. Because Every Little Detail Of Your Life Is What Made You Into Who You Are In The End.

I've Always Wanted To Work With Hugh [grant] Because I Loved His Movies.

I Aspire To Be That, To Be A Voice Of Reason One Day.

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 Decided Very Early On That It Took Too Much Of My Energy To Pretend To Be Someone Else. People Will Make Up Their Minds About Me Whatever I Do Or Say, But At Least I Know I Am Being True To Myself.

Daisies Are Like Sunshine To The Ground.

If You're Going To Go Through Hell... I Suggest You Come Back Learning Something.

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 Pray To Be Like The Ocean, With Soft Currents, Maybe Waves At Times. More And More, I Want The Consistency Rather Than The Highs And The Lows.

I Make Movies. I Have A Passion. Puppies And Daisies Don't Accomplish Anything. That's Not Me At All.

A Thank-you Can Be Just As Meaningful As A Soulful Ten-page Message.

I Love Romantic Comedies That Are Set In A World. It's Not Just A Boy And A Girl Falling In Love, Out Of Love, And Back In Love.

Falling In Love

When I Was A Kid, I Got Really Great Advice From Someone Who Is So Important To Me And Someone Who I Respect So Much, And They Told Me, 'don't Do Too Many Endorsements. Don't Throw Your Name On Things; Think Of Your Longevity.'

When [my Friend] Had Her Kid, She Was Like, "9:30?! I'm Not Living In Barcelona. I Need Dinner At 6." I Never Got That Until Now. Four Years Ago, When I Met Her, I Thought That Was Extreme. I Was Like, "i Love Barcelona!" Now, I'm So Mad When Someone Suggests An 8 Pm Reservation Because That Means We Won't Eat Until 8:30 Or 9 Pm. Forget It!

When You Work In Film, You Learn To Appreciate A Distributor. You Can Have This Great Little Film, But If You Don't Have A Distributor, You Are Sitting In Your Living Room With A Great Little Film.

I Don't Want To Be Stinky Poo Poo Girl, I Want To Be Happy Flower Child.

I Wanna Smoke Pot, But I Can't, Cause I'm Too Paranoid.

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.

Happiness Is A Choice. You Have To Choose It - And You Have To Fight For It.

Happiness Is A Choice

Instead Of Being Insecure And Jealous And Suspicious And Wonder If Every Guy Is Going To Cheat On Me, I Decided To Say, "nope. This Will Be Totally Enough For Somebody One Day." That Was A Real Script Flip And It Changed The Rest Of My Life In Such A Positive Way. So I Feel Like I Want To Teach Stuff Like That To My Girls.

It's My Crusade To Help Women Feel Good About Themselves.

I Always Leave A Relationship With A Sense Of Hope.

A Fish May Love A Bird, But Where Would They Live?

Indecision Is The Most Unsexy Thing On The Planet. I Don't Know If I'm Sexy But I Think Decisiveness Is Sexy. I Also Lose Trust And Faith In Them When I Realise I'm A Bit On My Own And That's A Very Disheartening Feeling.

I Have No Regrets In My Life Whatsoever.

Have No Regrets

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 Love Romance. I'm A Sucker For It. I Love It So Much. It's Pathetic.

My Life Is So Different Than I Thought It Would Be.

I Don't Have A Long, Drawn-out Joan Crawford Beauty Routine. I'm Not Like, "yes, I Wake Up And First I Put Ice On My Face." I Do It In A Taxi On My Way To A Meeting. Traveling Is My Makeup Routine. I Do It In A Car Ride, And I'm That Asshole On The Road Who's Doing Her Mascara In The Mirror.

I Really Want To Understand The Mind So I Can Be More Comfortable With The Way People Are. Being Comfortable With People Is Incredibly Important.

I've Been A Vegetarian For Years And Years. I'm Not Judgemental About Others Who Aren't, I Just Feel I Cannot Eat Or Wear Living Creatures.

I Want People To Be Blown Away When I Do What They Don't Expect.

I Think That Being Happy Makes The Biggest Impact On Your Physical Appearance.

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."

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.

I Think Chemistry Is Finding Something You Love About A Person And Then Transfering It To An In Love Kind Of Thing.

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 Cos I'm Too Content Being By Myself.

I Cry A Lot. I'll Cry Because I See A Person Walking Down The Street Looking Lonely.

We're All Going Through So Much Hard, Wonderful, Amazing . . . It's Blessings; It's Lessons; It's Hardship; It's Life. I Guess, I Don't Know What The Definition Of Life Is. I Now Know The Meaning Of My Life, Because Of My Daughters, But Mine Is One Little Tiny Speck In The Universe. It's Nice To Not Be Pretending Everything Is Perfect All The Time, Because It Isn't, But I Do Love Happiness And Joy And Optimism.

I Never Want To Get To The Point Where It's All About My Needs, And The Hell With Anybody Else.

I Believe You Can Be The Person That You Dream Of Being.

There's Something Liberating About Not Pretending. Dare To Embarrass Yourself. Risk.

I Think Shazam Is One Of The Coolest Inventions On The Planet, And Whether I Was In A Thrift Store Or In My Car, Every Other Week I Was Shazaming Another Best Coast Song.

I Still Feel Like I Have A Lot To Prove. My Biggest Burning Question Is 'how Much More Are You Capable Of?'

I Never Really Had A Childhood. I Was Around Adults All The Time. My Favorite Book When I Was Eight Was “everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex - But Were Afraid To Ask”. I Was Not Afraid To Ask.

Everything I Touched In The Kitchen Turned Out Crappy, No Matter How Closely I Followed The Recipe Or Copied The Cooking Show.

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.

Different Cocktails For Different Saturday Nights.

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.

Oh, I Love Hugging. I Wish I Was An Octopus, So I Could Hug 10 People At A Time!

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.

Families In Real Life Don't Tend To Resolve Things Neatly.

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 Know That I Won't Succeed At Everything, Every Day. Some Days Have To Be Solely About My Daughter. Some Days I Really Try To Be A Good Wife. Other Days, I Can Take A Few Hours For Myself And Just Do Nothing But Really Focus On Work.

You Have To Fight Unhappiness Like A Dragon With Fire And Breathe.

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 Think Happiness Is A Choice. I Believe Luck Is Your Attitude. It Sounds Like A Really Annoying Bumper Sticker. But There Is Such A Great Truth In That. You Choose How You Want To Feel About What Happens To You. I Could Have Been A Miserable Failure. I Haven't Had Anybody Looking Over Me, And I've Found My Own Way Through Optimistic Exploration And Fire-burning Mistakes. I Am A Very Happy Person With An Extraordinary Life, So I Must Be Doing A Lot Of Things Right. I Really Believe When You Peel Away The Layers, The Worlds Is A Beautiful Place Filled With Beautiful People.

My Culinary Skills Are Terrible. I Can't Even Make Toast Taste Good. I Do Make Scrambled Eggs For Myself Sometimes But I Wouldn't Even Inflict That On Anyone Else.

I Always Like Worlds Where You Could Be In Several Different Time Periods.

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.

The Best Kind Of Parent You Can Be Is To Lead By Example.

If I Read Something That's Really Intense And Depressive, I Will Face It; I Will Try - But There's Plenty Of Times I Also Run Away. I Think It's Trying To Find A Balance Between The Positive And The Negative. They Don't Exist Without Each Other. It's The Polarity; It's Two Sides Of A Coin. You Can't Get One Without The Other. I Don't Wallow. I Can't Stand It.

A Few Years Ago, I Bought An Old Red Bicycle With The Words Free Spirit Written Across Its Side - Which Is Exactly What I Felt Like When I Rode It Down The Street In A Tie-dyed Dress.

I've Been Producing For 13 Years. I've Made A String Of Joyful Movies With Positive Messages About Comedy, Love And Romance.

If You’re 35 And Single And It’s A Choice, It Feels Fine. So I Didn’t Settle With The Wrong Person Yet. Big Deal!

People Are Like Moths. First They Are Ugly And Awkward, Until They Break Out Of Their Shell And Become A Beautiful Butterfly.

I Can Tell When An Actor's Forcing Tears, And It's Tricky Because You Then Have To Film It And Edit In A Certain Way To Skirt Around The Issue.

I Understand There Are Inevitable Things That We Have To Go Through: Heartbreak, Family Problems. I Don't Feel Like Some Quixotic Idiot Who Says, 'we Don't Have To Feel Pain.' No! Let's Feel It, Let's Make It Work For Ourselves. But I Want Us All To Be Able To Get Past It.

I Personally Battled With My Own Body Image For Years. I Used To Tell Myself, You Can't Wear Anything Sleeveless Or Strapless. And All Of A Sudden I Was Like, What If I Just Didn't Send Such Negative Messages To My Brain And Said, Wear It And Enjoy It? And Now I'm More Comfortable In Clothes Than Ever.

I Used To Look In The Mirror And Feel Shame, I Look In The Mirror Now And I Absolutely Love Myself.

I Remember Being On Film Sets When I Was Younger, And Only Men Got To Do The Cool Action Movies. So I Thought, 'maybe I'll Get To Produce One Day And Get To Do Cool Stuff Too,' Which Is What Happened When We Did 'charlie's Angels.' Starting My Production Company Was A Big Turning Point For Me.

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 Was Born 10 Years Old.

I Think The World Offers So Many Wonderful Varieties Of Obstacles, But That Shouldn't Be One For Kids - Is The Worry That 'my Parents Wont Be There.'

I Know Certain Actors Are Totally Screwed Up On Drugs, Yet It Gets Covered Up. Why Wasn't I Excused For 'exhaustion' Or 'the Flu'?

You Can Never, Never Have Too Many Books

I Don't Think That Life Happens By Sitting Back And Waiting. People Hold Their Cards So Tight To Their Chest. Life Is Short. Tell People You Love Them. What's The Worst That's Going To Happen?

As I've Gotten Older, I've Really Wanted To Find More Balance And Calm.

I Still Can't Spell Anything, But I Can Bust Out Two-dollar Words.

I Really Have Created A Family. I Work With The People I Love, I Travel With Them, I Make Films With Them, And I'm In An Office With Them. So In A Weird Way - I Know I Haven't Birthed A Child - I Feel That I'm A Part Of Creating A Family. It's A Tribe. I Love That Word.

Kisses, Even To The Air, Are Beautiful.

Nobody Is Solid And Perfect All Of The Time.

I Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty.

But In Some Ways, I'm Like An Old Woman - Lived It, Seen It, Done It, Been There, Have The T-shirt.

I'd Definitely Be The Kind Of Parent Who Enabled My Child's Dreams. I'd Just Watch And Nurture And Guide Them. I Have The Blueprints Of What Not To Do... I Think I'd Be A Good Parent, Actually.

Feeding A Child At School Is Such A Simple Thing - But It Works Miracles.

Internet Does Not Equal Sodium Pentothal.

I Swear To God; Happiness Is The Best Makeup.

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

Being Pregnant And Having A Toddler, As Every Parent Says, Is Amazing. You're Very Tired, But It's So Wonderful. God, It's Emotional, But It's The Best. I Wouldn't Want To Be Anywhere Else.

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.

I Loved The World Of Roller Derby Because I Thought It Was Such An Empowering Metaphor, That You Get Out There And Do It. It's Such A Rocker, Athletic, Capable, Cool Exhibitionist Sport; It's About This Great Sort Of Camaraderie.

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

I Always Thought I Desperately Wanted A Husband And A Big Family, Because I Didn't Have It Growing Up.

If I Ever Start Talking To You About My 'craft', My 'instrument', You Have Permission To Shoot Me.

I Don't Mind A Little Sturm Und Drang. When I Was Doing 'riding In Cars With Boys,' I Wouldn't Smile At Anybody, Because My Character, Bev, Was Angry At The World. I'm The Opposite. Inside My Head I'd Be Like, God, I'll Explain To You At The End Of Shooting That I'm Not This Person.

I Learned Early On That Family, As Far As My Mother And Father, Were Not An Option.

Mother And Father

One Thing That Got Me Started On It Was The Jean Jacket. It's An Item That Could Make You Believe You're In The 50s Or Punk-rock 70s Or Grunge 90s. I Was Really Focused On Timelessness, And I Think Music Is Very Timeless.

You Know You're Putting A Good Thing Out Into The Universe When You Put On Glitter.

I Try Each Day, Each Month, Each Year To Become A Better And Better Person And To Be Good To The People I Love And Let Them Know How Much I Appreciate Them.

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 Feel Like Some Of My Baby Fat Is Going Away, And That’s Not Just Physically, It’s Psychologically. I Think That Your Body Is In Tune With Your Mind And Your Spirituality And Your Heart. If Things Are Going Better, I Just Think You Look Better.

When They [breasts] Are Huge, You Become Very Self-conscious...i've Learned Something Though, Through My Years Of Pondering And Pontificating, And That Is: Men Love Them, And I Love That.

I Don't Think Anyone Is Coasting On This Earth. I Think Everybody Does Feel Incredible Struggles. Any Day That You're Not Held Down By The Struggle, Celebrate It! Be Present, Because I Feel Like I Lost Sight Of That For A While Going Through Hard Stuff. And Now, I'm Really Enjoying The Good Moments.

God Made A Very Obvious Choice When He Made Me Voluptuous; Why Would I Go Against What He Decided For Me? My Limbs Work, So I'm Not Going To Complain About The Way My Body Is Shaped.

Everyone Is Like A Butterfly, They Start Out Ugly And Awkward And Then Morph Into Beautiful Graceful Butterflies That Everyone Loves.

Great Dad. Yeah, He Would Ask Me For Money On Birthdays And, You Know, Inappropriate Times. And I Just Wrote Him Off Like, 'you're Not A Father.' I Just Learned You Cannot Emotionally Invest In People Who Are Not Attainable.

I Hate Flatscreens. I Don't Want To See Anything In That Much Pixilation. I Don't Need To See The Pimple On Someone's Face. I Love The World Through Glass. The More Old, Dusty And Tainted That Glass Is, The Prettier And More Impressionistic That Is To Me. I Don't Need To See Everything Perfectly. I Don't Like It.

I'm A Very Research-, Homework-oriented Person.

I Don't Really Get Into Architecture In The Hotel Room. But Maybe A Little Feng Shui Here And There.

Once You've Been In A Mental Institution, People Are Going To Look At You Funny.

When You Have A Big Life Change, It Takes A Long Time To Get Used To Either The New Format Or The Understanding That You Need To Create A New Dream. Or If Things Didn't Work Out, Mourning The Death Of That Dream. It's Hard, Because That's A Very Private Journey.

I'm Not Insecure. I've Been Through Way Too Much F**king Sh*t To Be Insecure. I've Got Huge Balls. But I've Been Humbled. That Makes You Grateful For Every Day You Have.

I Never Have Been Insecure, Because I See What A Waste It Is. I Know There Is A Solution To Insecurity. I Don't Tend To Be Thrown By Problems That Don't Have Solutions. And Insecurity Has A Wealth Of Alternatives.

As A Kid I Got To Like Hang Out With Stephen King. That Was Like The Highlight Of My Life. Cause I Think He's The Raddest Human Being Ever.

Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone, Creating An Adventure Is Really Good.

I'm Glad I Lived Such A Full Life Before I Settled Down Into A Family Because I Got To Enjoy It And Get It Out Of My System.

I No Longer Have The Fear Of Being Alone. It's Cool To Find Out That You Don't Need A Boyfriend To Be Happy.

Fear Of Being Alone

Need A Boyfriend

I Think That We All Have To Have That Rite Of Passage Of Dating The Tortured Artist Who Seems Cooler Than We Think We Are; We Aspire To Be Like Them, And We're Excited That Somebody Is Turning Us On To New Music Or A New Lifestyle.

If I Die Before My Cat, I Want A Little Of My Ashes Put In His Food So I Can Live Inside Him.

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.

Everything I Do, I Do Infinite Percent.

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.

When I Was 19, I Picked Up An Old, Tiny, Automatic Yashica Camera And I Just Started Shooting. We Didn't Have Iphones Back Then, We Didn't Even Have Cell Phones. I Loved Having A Camera In My Hand.

In General, People Are True To Their Signs.

I Don't Want To Be Vain Or Fearful, And I Don't Think I'll Do Anything [in Terms Of Plastic Surgery], But If I Want To Do Something, I Will. From My Perspective, There's No Reason To Be Afraid Of Aging, Because If You Age, You're Lucky! The Alternative Is Death.

It's Not Just About Acting. I Love Film, I'm A Director Now, I Love Writing, I Love Producing, I Love Having A Company That Makes Films And To Be Prolific And Have A Place To Put All The Ideas That Are Constantly Bubbling Up Inside Of Me And That Don't Let Me Sleep At Night.

I Grew Up In A Family That Was Multifaceted, Sexually Oriented, And Pretty Much Open To Everything. And Because I Was Working, My Friends Were All Adults. I Had A Tough Time Going To Different Schools Because People Knew Me From Films And I Was The Fat Child Who Got Beaten Up Every Day.

I Feel Really Connected To These Young Ladies I Get To Work With; I'm Dancing Around With Them And Playing Music For Them. We Sit Down And Get To Know Each Other So We Have A Shorthand.

I Feel Like I Came Out Of The Womb And Was Punted - There You Go, Out In The World!

I'm Such A Workaholic. I'm Always Thinking About Work.

Always Thinking

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.

Get Yourself Out. Be Brave. Don't Leave Before You're Ready, Because You Should Know That You Tried Everything. So There's A Conviction And A Confidence When You Step Away From Something That May Or May Not Be Conducive To Your Life. I Think If You Run Away Too Quickly, You're Going To Have That "oh God, Did I Try Everything?" Feeling. Try Everything. Make It Work. Do Everything You Can. If It's Not Working, Then Know When The Signal Is And Move On. Change. Try Something Different.

I Love Movies, I Love Being A Part Of Them, And This Is The One Occupation I Love Living And Playing In And Stressing Myself Out Over.

The Low Points I Had All Helped Make Up My Character, So I Probably Wouldn't Want To Do Away With Them Because I Like Being Flawed And I Like Having Them Help Me Grow And Change And Become Better And Stronger.

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.

When You're Young, You're Always Wondering When You're Actually Going To Feel Like A Grownup. And I Think You Probably Fear It, In A Sense, Too. There's A Danger To Feeling Like An Adult... Like This Whimsical Kid In You Is Going To Die Or Something. And Then All Of A Sudden, One Day You Kind Of Feel Like An Adult And It's Really Nice.

When I Lay My Head On The Pillow At Night I Can Say I Was A Decent Person Today. That's When I Feel Beautiful.

It's The Worst When You're Kissing Someone Who's Not A Good Kisser, And You're Trying To Make It Look Good, But You Feel Like You're Just Working On Your Own.

To Be Really Great And Interesting, You Have To Be A Little Crazy. I Just Don't Think One Comes Without The Other.

I Don't Like Camera Trickery And Editing And Doubles And All Of That.

I Mean, I Come From A Hippie Mentality Where I Just Think To Know Someone, You Need To Look Into Their Eyes. Eyes Are So Important. Until They Start Melon-balling Eyes Out, I Won't Be Able To Get To Know Someone Another Way.

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.

I Think A Any Person Who Has A High Profile Job Or Who Travels All The Time Or Who Has A Lot Of Stress Associated With Their Job Can Be Difficult To Be In A Relationship With.

Becoming Emancipated At 14, My Life Wasn't Normal. I Didn't Have To Go To School, So I Didn't. I Was Rebellious By Nature. I Spent My 20s Focusing On My Company, Flower Films, And Producing Movies. Now That I'm Almost 30, I Would Like To Try Other Things In Lie. I'm Crazy About Photography, And I Want To Take An Art History Class.

I Am Fundamentally Happy. Everyone Has Experiences That Makes Them Cynical, Jaded Or Unhappy - You Just Have To Fight Those Things Off. I Have Totally Emotional Days When I Cry And Get Insecure. Pms Weirded Out, Doomed And Tragic. I Mean, I'm Definitely Not Just A Lollipop, Happy In The Wind Girl. I'm Human Just Like Everyone Else, But I Think That It Would Be Tragic To Be On Your Deathbed And Think, 'i Could've I Should've.' That Gets Me Out Of Bed Everyday. I Can't Even Last Like An Hour In Bed In The Morning. I Have To Get Out There And Live.

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.

Going Back To Georgiana Drew And John Drew, And My Great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, And It Was Such A Sort Of Circus Of Odd, Interesting People That Loved Acting.

I Think There's A Tremendous Amount Of Guilt That Goes On Between Mothers And Daughters, No Matter How Good Or Bad Their Relationships Are. It Kills Girls Inside When They Think They're Letting Their Mothers Down.

Don't Show Your Flaws.

Any Acting Roles Will Be Few And Far Between Until My Kids Are Older And By Then, Who Knows What I'll Want To Do?

I Think Its Nice When People Find Love, Because I Feel Like Everyone Deserves It.

School Feeding Not Only Fills Stomachs, But Has A Proven Track Record Of Boosting Enrollment, Attendance And Academic Performance. For Just Pennies A Day Per Child, This Program Changes Lives - And Ultimately Can Impact The Futures Of Poor Countries Around The World In A Profound Way.

I Would Love To Be A Travel Writer. I'd Be So Stoked.

I Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty. Period. Happy People Are Beautiful. They Become Like A Mirror And They Reflect That Happiness.

I've Approached So Many Things In My Life With Such Intensity That I Want To Approach Motherhood With Dedication And Focus.

Whatever I've Experienced In My Life Is A Part Of My Story, And I'm Proud Of That. But It's Someone Who Wakes Up Early, Works All Day, Believes In Charitable Work, Business-minded, Diligent, Accountable, Problem-solving... I'm So Much About School, Consistency And Tradition.

Charitable Work

If You Don't Take Risks, You'll Have A Wasted Soul.

I'm Such A Profound Believer That Timing Is Everything; I Would Tattoo That On My Arm.

We Can't Take A Step Backwards When We've Already Made So Many Strides Forward. I Was Raised By Gay Men And Women...it's Who I Am, You Cannot Define A Family. There Are Children Out There Who Need These Loving Homes. These Are Rights That Are Fundamental And Must Be Had. And I Will Fight For However Long It Takes; I Don't Want To Live In A World Where Prop 8 Exists!

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.

I Have Certainly Had My Share Of Long-distance Love Affairs.

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?

In A World And A Life That Moves So Fast, Photography Just Makes The Sound Go Out And It Makes You Stop And Take A Pause. Photography Calms Me.

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.

I Love Working With The Actors Eye-to-eye. I Think Something Gets Lost In Translation, Not Only Through A Monitor, But When You Leave The Area Where The Actual Scene Is Taking Place.

I Still, At Hotel Rooms, I Do This One Sort Of Not-so-cool Thing: Continually Shoving My Room Service Tray In Front Of Someone Else's Door. Because I Don't Want The Remnants. I Don't Want To Be Caught, Like, Being Like The Pig That I Was At Two In The Morning.

Sometimes I Bust Out And Do Things So Permanent. Like Tattoos And Marriage.

Permanent Things

Girls Want To Be With Guys Who Have A Sense Of Humor-it Makes Them Far More Attractive To Us.

I Love Jokes, But God, Jokes Can Go So Wrong. I Have Stayed Up Many Nights Thinking, "f**k. I Can't Believe I Made That Silly Little Joke. That Was A Disaster."

Love Is The Hardest Habit To Break, And The Most Difficult To Satisfy.

You Can't Live Your Life Blaming Your Failures On Your Parents And What They Did Or Didn't Do For You. You're Dealt The Cards That You're Dealt. I Realised It Was A Waste Of Time To Be Angry At My Parents And Feel Sorry For Myself.

Women Shouldn't Be Burdened By What Existed In Their Past, We Should All Learn How To Turn Pain Into Strength.

I'm Very Homework-oriented - I'm A Little Tracy Flick-ish.

My Life Takes Me All Over The World, And I Know How Hard That Can Be On A Relationship.

The More You Do Speak From The Heart, Rather Than Thumping The Agenda, People Will Listen Or Relate Or Open Themselves Up More.

My Therapist Says I Still Haven't Got In Touch With My Anger. Maybe One Day I'm Going To Explode. But I'm Still Really Happy. I Know It Looks Like A Strange And Painful Upbringing - All Those Experiences Led Me To The Paths That I'm On Now.

My Mother Used To Dress Rather Risqué When I Was A Kid, And That Sort Of Shocked Me. I Always Thought Moms Were Supposed To Wear Cardigans And Flats, But She Was In Leather Bracelets And Minidresses. In Hindsight, I Thought It Was Pretty Cool, But I'm Probably More Conservative Because Of It.

I Just Want To Make Sure I Have A Sense Of Balance Between Work And Life, Because Work Is My Life And The Lines Can Get Really Blurry.

Whether You're Throwing Up Or Breaking Up, You Want Your Girlfriend Right There! I Don't Trust Women Who Don't Go To Their Girlfriends.

I Am Obsessed With Ice Cubes. Obsessed.
