DREW BARRYMOREI try to be a good shiksa wife. I go to Central Synagogue in New York.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
DREW BARRYMOREWhen I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That’s when I feel beautiful.
DREW BARRYMOREI’m certainly not an uptight home owner.
DREW BARRYMOREI always leave a relationship with a sense of hope.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
DREW BARRYMOREBut in some ways, I’m like an old woman – lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.
DREW BARRYMOREI’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.
DREW BARRYMOREI am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
DREW BARRYMOREMy 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.
DREW BARRYMOREI believe you can be the person that you dream of being.
DREW BARRYMOREGoing 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.
DREW BARRYMOREI have no internet savvy whatsoever, but I love researching things. The Internet is my library… beyond that, I’m completely intimidated by it.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
DREW BARRYMOREI 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.
