00:00 American film producer and actor Drew Barrymore talked about what it's like to be the center
00:06 of attention and receive recognition from people since being a young child.
00:12 As reported by People, she said, "The thing that comes to my mind is that I like working
00:17 on myself and know that I need to keep working on myself.
00:21 I know what it's important to not be complacent and that there are always things that I can
00:27 keep fixing, but I hope that one day it's coming into focus.
00:31 There's a piece that I've never had because I feel like I was broken.
00:36 Now it feels more like I'm not broken as much anymore.
00:39 We feel that way on certain days, but if you work hard on yourself, you've got to go a
00:44 little easier on yourself.
00:46 And I've been hard on myself throughout my life.
00:49 I have pushed myself to become more stable and accountable, especially as a mom."
00:55 "Being a mom was game on for me," added Drew.
01:00 At the age of 11 months, Barrymore began her career in Hollywood, continuing her family's
01:06 tradition, but during her lengthy career, she never brought her problems to work.
01:11 As she revealed, "I'm proud of is that since I was 11 months old and in a diaper and put
01:16 to work, I have no matter what I've gone through in my personal life, I have never brought
01:22 it to work.
01:23 I don't come unprepared and as much as I expect myself to be a better, stronger, wiser
01:28 person, I also expect myself to show up for any professional endeavor, giving my all."
01:36 For the unversed, Drew Barrymore has acted in some stellar films like Charlie's Angels,
01:41 50 First Dates and Lucky You and has also played her part as a producer in movies like
01:47 How to Be Single, Animal and Princess Power.
