Drew Barrymore Quotes

When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic, and my world was so inconsistent.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

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?

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance.

– Drew Barrymore

I did love horror films from the ’70s and ’80s. That was my sweet spot.

– Drew Barrymore

My whole life, I’ve wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It’s the most liberating thing in the world.

– Drew Barrymore

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

From my perspective, there’s no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you’re lucky! The alternative is death.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

I’m a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.

– Drew Barrymore

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.

– Drew Barrymore

– Drew Barrymore

I want people to love me, but it’s not going to hurt me if they don’t.

– Drew Barrymore

I’m very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention.

– Drew Barrymore
