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.

More From Drew Barrymore

Internet Does Not Equal Sodium Pentothal.

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

You've Just Got To Do The Best That You Can.

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

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.

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.

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

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'd Rather Be A Few Pounds Heavier And Enjoy Life Than Be Worried All The Time.

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

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.

I've Always Loved Butterflies, Because They Remind Us That It's Never Too Late To Transform Ourselves.

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

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

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.'

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

I Don't Even Have Voice Mail Or Answering Machines Anymore. I Hate The Phone, And I Don't Want To Call Anybody Back. If I Go To Hell, It Will Be A Small Closet With A Telephone In It, And I Will Be Doomed And Destined For Eternity To Return Phone Calls.

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

It's Embarrassing To Go Through Any Rebellious Stage In Front Of People That You Love And Respect, And Yet I'm Glad I Did.

Love And Respect

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 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.

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.

My Life Choices Are Not Supposed To Be The Gateway To Somebody Else's. That's My Journey.

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

Permanent Things

I'm Okay With The Idea That Slow And Steady Wins The Race.

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

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 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.

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

Nobody Is Solid And Perfect All Of The Time.

To Be Honest, I Don't Have Data In My Brain Of How A Relationship With A Man Is Supposed To Function.

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

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.

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.

The Thing That Has Been Weighing On My Mind This Week Is That I Wanted To Go And Save All The Little Live Lobsters In Restaurants And Throw Them Back In The Ocean. Imagine Me Being Arrested For That.

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 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."

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!

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

Daisies Are Like Sunshine To The Ground.

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

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

California Is An Unbelievable State. One Day I Might Be In A Spiritual Place Like Joshua Tree, Then Before I Know It, I'm Eating Groovy Sushi In A Mini-mall. I'm A Cali Girl Through And Through.

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.

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

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

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

In General, People Are True To Their Signs.

No Matter What The Genre, I Want To See Me And My Friends. I Want To See Reality. I Want To See What We're Really Like. I Loved 'bridesmaids'. I Thought It Was The Most Honest Portrayal Of Female Friendship In Such A Long Time.

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.

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.

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

I Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty.

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.

I'm A Total Control Freak And Love To Participate In The Design Of Every Single Aspect Of Life.

But It's All About Confidence And Allowing Yourself To Put Your Personality Into It. I Really Am The Worst Singer On The Planet; I Make People Cry And Vomit When I Sing.

I Think I’m Moody Because I’m A Woman. I Can Ask Any Man In This Room, Like Women Are Just Inherently Like, Moody Or Hormonal People. I Don’t Know How Men Deal With It. I Praise Them.

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.

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.

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.

Trust That Things Will Be Okay - Especially If You Put In The Time And Effort To Make Them Be Okay.

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

I Have No Regrets In My Life Whatsoever.

Have No Regrets

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

I Started Finding Hearts In Things - Whether It Was Like, A Tree I Was Passing, A Straw Wrapper On The Ground, I Think The Heart Has One Continuous Line, Which Is Very Powerful.

I Love The Very Exposed, Humorous, Imperfect, Never-trying To-pretend-to-be-perfect Journey That I Have Been On In My Life.

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

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

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'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 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.

Oh, I Would Love To Be A Motivational Speaker. I Have Pulled Myself Out Of A Million Potholes, And I Can See The Potholes Ahead Of Me. That Doesn't Mean That I Could Always Do That So Perfectly For My Own Life. I Totally Fall In Potholes.

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'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 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.

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

I Definitely Don't Think That I'm Hot Doo-doo. I Don't.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I Grew Up In A Makeup Chair, To See! The Women Around Me Getting Ready Was So Aspirational, It Is About Mothers And Daughters, A Girl Watching Her Mom At A Vanity Table.

Celebrity! It's Become The Most Disgusting Word On The Planet. It Makes Me Sick To My Stomach.

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

I Like Women Who Like Each Other And Empower Each Other.

Some Of The Mini-worlds That Filmmakers Have Created Are So Ingrained In My Love Of Culture.

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 Looooove Cookbooks. I Cook A Lot When I'm Pregnant.

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.

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.

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

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

I Try To Be A Good Shiksa Wife. I Go To Central Synagogue In New York.

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

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 Really Wanted A Wonderful, Traditional Home For My Kid.

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

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.

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 Can Cook About Two Things. I Can Boil Hot Water For The Only Pasta I Can Make.

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

I Took The Stairs And Felt Like My Childhood Took The Elevator.

I've Always Been One Of Those People Who Romanticized Cooking, But The Few Attempts I'd Made In My Life Resulted In Friends' Contorted Faces As They Desperately Tried To Say Something Nice About The "dish" They Were Eating.

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

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.

I'm So In Control Of My Life, You Shouldn't Dislike Anything I Do-because I'm Not Only In The Best Place I've Ever Been, But It Keeps Getting Better And Better.

I Just Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty. Period. Happy People Are Beautiful. They Become Like A Mirror And They Reflect That Happiness. If Somebody Walks In The Room And They're Drop-dead Gorgeous And Sexy, It's Really Fun To Look At. But If Someone Is Giving Of Their Spirit And They Make You Laugh And Feel Good, That's A Whole Other Level Of Beauty.

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

There's A Big World Out There. Bigger Than Prom, Bigger Than High School, And It Won't Matter If You Were The Prom Queen Or The Quarterback Of The Football Team Or The Biggest Nerd. Find Out Who You Are And Try Not To Be Afraid Of It.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Live For Makeup And I Like Wine. These Are My Truths!

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.

I Always Leave A Relationship With A Sense Of Hope.

Both Of My Marriages Have Taught Me The Same Lesson Twice Over Really Harsh: Listen To Your Instincts. Don't Be A People Pleaser.

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.

My Mother And I Split Ways When I Was Very Young And Have Never Really Reconciled.

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 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.

I'm Just Learning Who I Am And How Relationships Work And How To Make Them Function. No Different From Anyone Else.

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.

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.

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.

I Try To Make Movies That I Would Want To Go See Rather Than Ones I Would Just Want To Do As An Actor. I Want People To Have Movies Full Of Romance And Hope And Empowerment, Something They Can Escape Into And Feel Good About. I Love Happy Endings.

When Things Are Perfect, That's When You Need To Worry Most.

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 Did Love Horror Films From The '70s And '80s. That Was My Sweet Spot.

I Don't Think That I Have Any Musical Talent.

I'm Certainly Not An Uptight Home Owner.

I Think Video Village Is Bullshit. It's Like It's A Breeding Ground For People To Nitpick And Feel Important. It's Just Such A Weird Dynamic.

It Wasn't My Choice To Be An Open Book, But When People Found Out What My Life Was Like When I Was 14 Or 15, I Didn't Deny It. I Think The More Imperfect You Are, The More Human You Are.

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?

I Like So Many Different Kinds Of Chick Flicks. I Like Rom-coms, I Like Female Friendship Movies.

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

Always Thinking

Putting Your Name On Something And Having No Idea How It Came About If Someone Else Did All The Work - That's Not Me.

Every Morning I Stay In Bed For Ten Minutes To Ponder My Place In The Universe. Then I Wash My Face And Check My Karma.

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.

That Thing, That Moment, When You Kiss Someone And Everything Around Becomes Hazy And The Only Thing In Focus Is You And This Person And You Realize That That Person Is The Only Person That Youre Supposed To Kiss For The Rest Of Your Life, And For One Moment You Get This Amazing Gift And You Want To Laugh And You Want To Cry Because You Feel So Lucky That You Found It And So Scared That That It Will Go Away All At The Same Time.

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.

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'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.

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!

The Reason I Started Officially Learning To Cook Was Because When I First Got Pregnant, I Had To Face The Sad Fact That I Didn't Even Know How To Boil An Egg.

I Love Writing, Directing And Photography; If I Could Figure Out A Way To Put The Three Things Together, That's What I Would Love To Do.

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 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 Loved Duran Duran's "girls On Film" - It Was Really Sexy And Naughty And Totally Weird. When You're A Kid Watching That Stuff On Television You're Like, "well, We Are Opening Up As A Society!"

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'?

I Want People To Love Me, But It's Not Going To Hurt Me If They Don't.

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?

When You Become Very Ill - Raise Your Head. You Will Definitely See The Sunlight.

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.

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

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.

Kisses, Even To The Air, Are Beautiful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happiness Is A Choice

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

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

Beauty Is So Within. I Don't Care If You're The Most Attractive Person On The Planet...if You're Not Good Inside, It Will Show. You Fall In Love With People From The Inside Out.

I Love Tate Modern; There's Such Great Style And Shopping Here. I Love The Galleries And The Pubs Out On The Street, Just Having Your Pint As The Sun Is Setting.

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 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 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.

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

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 Don't Like Working By A Monitor. I Stand Right Next To The Camera, And I'm Very Performance-oriented. That Really Means Everything To Me, Whether It's Doing An Improv Of A Joke Or An Emotional Scene, And Everything In Between.

A Lot Of My Business Is About Protecting Creativity.

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

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

I Used To Have A Blankie, And When My Mom Had To Wash It, I Would Sit Outside The Dryer And Watch It Go Round And Round, And Cry.

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

The Older You Get, The Few Slumber Parties There Are, And I Hate That. I Liked Slumber Parties. What Happened To Them?
