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.

I'm very homework-oriented - I'm a little Tracy Flick-ish.

Everything I do, I do infinite percent.

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

I'm glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.

I've got Flossie dog, and she is great. She and I are still in love, 14 years. That's a relationship that works.

My life takes me all over the world, and I know how hard that can be on a relationship.
