It seems like Drew Barrymore can do it all: act, direct, produce, run businesses and be a mom — but she confesses that is far from the truth.
“I can’t and I don’t,” Barrymore said at Lucky‘s Fashion and Beauty Blog Conference Thursday in Los Angeles.
“I was raised in that generation of women can have it all, and I don’t think you can. I think some things fall off the table. The good news is, what does stay on the table becomes much more in focus and much more important.”

I’m apparently a debauched piece of trash too. After all I did things in my youth that I’m not proud of.
Obviously nobody can have it all.
Made the rounds sexually before she hit puberty? I think we call that statutory rape... or does an 11 year old ask for it? Never mind, I don’t really want to know your answer.
Well said! Thank you.
Yeah, I agree. Many of our generations were fed a load of bologna.
Well said ma’am.
She’s been a good egg for a long time now. Boy you sure are threatens by a woman with a checkered past.
I heard her in a long interview on NPR’s Fresh Air a couple years ago and came away very impressed. Delightful and humble describes her well.
Wow, someone from Hollywood that has a brain in their head and uses it. How refreshingly rare.
Yes genius... all before she hit 15. She had terrible parents and a horrible childhood. So “once a skank, always a skank”, even if it all happened before you were 15.
I have no idea what Drew Barrymore is like in real life, and if she’s sincere or not. But I think there’s no doubt about YOUR real character.
A lot of people have grown up with far less and done far more.
I’m talking about what she did BEFORE she was 15. That’s what you were originally talking about. You’re honestly going to write off someone for life for things they did before 15?
Statutory, yes. Forcible, not necessarily ...
or does an 11 year old ask for it?
An 11-year-old skank might.
That was in 1995. Eighteen years ago. She was 20. I’ll give her a pass.
I don't have to "write off" anyone. I'm sure Drew Barrymore couldn't care less what I think of her. At the same time, I'm not gullible enough to believe that because she smiles for the cameras and gushes about how she's "reformed," she actually IS.
Maybe she's learned her lesson. Maybe she's not taking on the Sixth Fleet every time they're in the harbor. Maybe she's eating tofu and working out with her personal trainer four hours a day before biking down to the homeless shelter to feed starving boozehounds.
Or maybe she's still hitting the Ecstasy-Cocaine-Mazola party circuit on the downlow, and peddling this kind of hash to gullible fools so they'll watch her incredibly crummy movies.
You believe one thing. I believe another.
Well, I happen to believe in repentance, even of the secular, rather than religious kind. Folks can, and do, change, every day.
In other words, your mind is made up “just because it is”. She used to get drunk when she was 11. WHORE!!!! They never change!!!!
I’m sure you’ll have a great day tomorrow, screaming at those damn kids to get off your lawn.
It’s pointless to appeal to hard, closed hearts. Don’t let
the negativity get in you, do something else before it does.
