Drew Barrymore opens up about flaws, technology and her boyfriend Justin Long in the August issue of Nylon magazine. Here’s what the 35-year-old shared:
On having 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 taking a break from acting: “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.”
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 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!’”
