DREW BARRYMOREYou have to fight unhappiness like a dragon with fire and breathe.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.

DREW BARRYMOREIf I ever start talking to you about my ‘craft’, my ‘instrument’, you have permission to shoot me.
DREW BARRYMOREIt’s my crusade to help women feel good about themselves.
DREW BARRYMORENo 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.
