The always illuminating Drew Barrymore shows up on the cover of Marie Claire UK. Drew opens up about how technology is changing the dating game. And kiddas, let me tell you, she isn't all too happy about it. Unfortunately when it comes to technology and the way we interact as humans, there is no turning back!
On having no rules in a relationship: ‘I’m happy to say that, at 35 years old, I feel I know less than eve. But in a liberating way. I’m trying to figure out how to make relationships work. The only thing I know is that there aren’t any rules. There should be no infrastructure on how a couple is supposed to work. Life isn’t like that.’
On being an old fashioned romantic... ‘The fact that I’m begging for a phone call is pathetic in this age of technology,’ she admits. ‘Plans are made by text – I can’t stand it. My ex, Fabrizio [Moretti, drummer with The Strokes], and I used to always make each other things for Valentine’s Day. I loved that. I know it was something we looked forward to and was really cool. I encourage people to make things for each other – it’s so beautiful.’
On social media... ‘I just don’t like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world,’ she says. ‘If you meet someone, they already know everything. What about showing up on the date and saying, “What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?” Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who fucking knows? I am a romantic and it scares me…’
On having phone sex...‘Oh, I’ve had successful phone sex – it can work. I think it’s f**king weird – it’s super weird. I totally tried it, though, with a little success at one point in my life, but it was just a thing you try, like wearing orange for a while. I don’t think it’s something I could live my life with. What makes me happy right now is something very tangible and that’s the people I know that I really, really like and love and get such a sense of happiness from. My tribe.’
