Drew Barrymore spills more thoughts in the August 2010 cover of Nylon Magazine.
On living with her flaws… “You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that’s not only boring as f–k, but it’s just not real… So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That’s essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally f–k it up.”
On her acting hiatus… “I had a big gap in my life where I wasn’t allowed to work at all because no one would hire me, which was great because I think you need that humility. You have to have everything taken away, or you have to have a major reality check, so that you always appreciate what you have.”
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
On technology disconnecting people…“Ironically, with all this, ‘We’re now more connected than ever with technology,’ I don’t think we’ve ever been farther apart. I think it’s bulls–t. Everyone feels more connected but they’re weirdly disconnected.”
On co-star and maybe-boyfriend Justin Long’s nude scene… “It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, b–ch. The tables are turned!’”
On not buying clothes herself…“I never have time for shopping. I like it…I think? If i ever do go shopping, I hit thrift stores ’cause I know I’ll find new pieces around a job or a shot. I’ve been wearing the same f–king pair of jeans for 10 years.”
