Drew Barrymore's InStyle Cover
There's just something so likeable about Drew Barrymore that certain other actresses lack (*cough* Megan Fox *cough*). Here she is looking vibrant and gorgeous in Valentino on the front cover of October's InStyle. Some highlights are...
On not making enemies: “I don’t like alienating people. I’m like a big freaking welcome mat!”
On her selective memory: “I’m such a good secret keeper that I’ll deliberately forget things so I don’t have the urge to tell them.”
On her relationship with her parents: “I am OK with my dad, but my mom and I have yet to work it all out. I don’t
talk about it because… how do you talk about something you’re confused about?”
On fame and how it’s affected her: I love my life, I really do. But there are moments I battle with it. Some days I want nothing more than a brilliant mask so I could look like someone else and go wander the streets and be free. I’m very peeved that Halloween only comes once a year.”
On why many of the films she has produced have themes of girl power and collaboration: “I like teams—I like buddies.” I don’t understand women who are competitive, apart from positive forums like athletics. One person is a powerful thing, but a tribe is unstoppable.”
On breaking barriers on the red carpet: “Do you know what I would love? To die on the red carpet. [Laughs] No—I love to succeed on it, but I don’t want to do it conventionally. What I don’t understand is, why is there a barrier between the runway and the red carpet? At fashion shows, the boundaries are gone. But on the red carpet, there’s this line. And I want to walk past that line.”
Love, Love, Love her. Keep doing your thing, Ms Barrymore.
