I can tell when an actor's forcing tears, and it's tricky because you then have to film it and edit in a certain way to skirt around the issue.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me, other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

The older you get, the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?

I don't have a long, drawn-out Joan Crawford beauty routine. I'm not like, "Yes, I wake up and first I put ice on my face." I do it in a taxi on my way to a meeting. Traveling is my makeup routine. I do it in a car ride, and I'm that asshole on the road who's doing her mascara in the mirror.

I don't think that I have any musical talent.

Life's too short. We have to love each other.

From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.
