Trivia and Quotes
Quotes
Drew: (talking about her morning routine) Every morning I stay in bed for ten minutes to ponder my place in the universe; then I wash my face and check my karma.
Drew: Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual. I love a woman`s body. I think that a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like experiencing your own body through someone else...I totally love it
Drew: Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves
Drew: I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it`s important to seek out that reason - that`s how we learn
Drew: I know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn`t I excused for `exhaustion` or `the flu`?
Drew: I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end
Drew: Kissing - and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down
Drew: I get to be a kid now, because I wasn`t a kid when I was supposed to be one. But in some ways, I`m like an old woman-lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt
Drew: I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.
Drew: I never really had a childhood. I was around adults all the time. My favorite book when I was eight was Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex - But Were Afriad to Ask. I was not afraid to ask

Drew: If you`re going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning something
Drew: Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths
Drew: My mom is an interesting character. She`s well-read, lived in amazing times, has great stories... but when you`re a kid, you don`t want your mother to be that person. You don`t want to hear that Mick Jagger`s in the bedroom

Drew: When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That`s when I feel beautiful
Drew: When you`ve been locked up in a mental institution, people are going to ask questions. It was OK, because I didn`t have to act perfect all the time.
Drew: Range is my biggest goal. In movies I get to be cool and tough and rock’n’roll, and those are things I’d like to be in real life, but I’m not. I’m sort of dorky.
Drew: (on boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti) You shouldn`t take love and your relationship so dammed heavy all the time. Laugh more! Laugh your ass off! You need to reinvent your relationship if you want to continue being together. Right now I`m in a phase of, `I`m not even your girlfriend. I`m your best friend who is madly in love with you.` The longest I`ve ever been with someone was like two to three years, so I`m in uncharted waters. Right now I`m more into championing him as a human being than gushing love for him

Drew: I`ve never really understood how I should feel or behave in a relationship... I didn`t have the kind of childhood or family life that would have given me any perspective on what a happy home life or relationship would feel like. My father was literally out of his mind and my mother was more like a friend than a real mom to me. She would take me out to clubs and I wound up feeling like part of this very unreal kind of world, although that was the only world I ever knew growing up.
OTHER
(growin up)
Drew: There`s nothing like the power of a smile
OTHER
