Drew Barrymore Quotes:
  • "Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual. I love a woman's body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally - I love it."
  • On war against Iraq: "Violence inevitably leads to more violence. It is not absolution."
  • "After things with Tom didn't work out the last thing I expected was to meet another Mr Right. But just when I was about to give up on love, I met Brandon. I'm happy again."
  • "Eventually we got to where we could hang out on our own, but there were a lot of real crazy emotions flying all over the place. The one thing my mom said to break the ice was that we [had] really needed to separate to become our own people before we could come together again. I respect that."
  • "Yes it is true we have decided to part. I love Tom very much. He has always been a great friend and that won't change."
  • "I was nervous but when the New York mayor said we all have to be brave, I thought I have to be brave. I think everyone all over the country is scared but we look to people to inspire us and we have to look to our leaders right now."
  • "If I'm honest about my feelings, I was still brave in the end, so I don't know what's wrong with that."
  • "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
  • "I think I have a love for TV hosts. I can't help it. Ted Koppel was my first crush when I was three. Then I was in love with David Letterman. He's my sweetheart. But now I've got my Tom." - Playboy. December 2000. "
  • "A lot of people [screw] up, do crazy **it and keep it to themselvecs. Beczause I was young and it was in public, it was awkward until I embraced it and thought, This is my life. I'm not going to sit around and hate my life." - Playboy. December 2000. "
  • "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 Afriad to Ask. I was not afraid to ask." - Playboy. December 2000. "
  • "When you've been locked up in a mental institution, people are going to ask questions. It was OK, because I didn't have to act perfect all the time." - Playboy. December 2000."
  • "God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped."
  • "I understand there are inevitable things that we have to go through: heartbreak, famly 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 learned early on that family, as far as my mother and father, were not an option."
