Actress Drew Barrymore has been talking about love a lot lately, as she's promoting her new flick Going the Distance with on and off love Justin Long.
I reported earlier today that Drew said she would not give up her career for love and said she thinks people focus too much on their love-life.
But the actress admits, like many women, she spent most of her youth trying to figure out love and said she was hurt a lot along the way:
"I've spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love. And now I've stopped believing in happy endings and I've started believing in good days"
Barrymore also admitted that her bad childhood has contributed to her failed relationships (Drew was in Rehab by age 11 for drug addiction) She said:
"I didn't have the kind of childhood or family life that would have given me any perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like. So I haven't had as much success in my relationships as I would have liked."
But she also said she wouldn't change a thing about her troubled past, because it's made her who she is today:
"There were several low points in my life and they all helped make up my character so I probably wouldn't want to do away with them because I like being flawed. It helped me grow and change and become better and stronger".
Drew is definitely a very positive person. I have always looked up to her and found her inspiring and she seems more independent than ever. She's a great role model for women all over the world!
