Wild women do, and they don't regret it, wild women show, what they're goin' through, wild women do, what you think they'll never...
The song by Natalie Cole, could very well be an ode to Hollywood's wild child Drew Barrymore. From being the star kid of ET to posing nude in Playboy, Barrymore's broken every rule there is in the book.However, recent times have also seen a far more professional edge of the Charlie's Angel star. From being a star to a producer, the sexy actress has certainly proven time and again that she's a force to reckon with. And as her romantic drama Lucky You hits the theatres today, AT reins in the beauty for an exclusive chat
Are you a hopeless romantic?
Sure. Always have been. Always will be.
How do you feel now you're getting older?
I'm just starting my thirties and I loved my twenties . I'm excited for what this decade will bring for sure.
Is it difficult for a woman to combine a career and family?
I would think it's the same for men, but we've seen them pull it off for many generations. I hope it will be another one of those eras now. It can be done! I believe that.
Do you still feel that romantic comedy is your forte?
I hope that I haven't pigeon-holed myself into people thinking that I'm not capable of more. Because I have definitely had really wonderful experiences in the few more dramatic or independent films that I've been involved with, and I hope to do more of those in the next few years. I love seeing, watching and doing romantic comedies. They're just a joy for me in my life. But I definitely want to express as much range as possible .
You also produce a lot now, for your company Flower Films...
I love being involved in every aspect. I think details in life are so exciting and I love films. When we do our films, I care about the coffee cup that's on screen, and the name of the character , the production design and the casting process, the writing - it's all vital. I love fighting for that poster over this poster. As an actor , sometimes you don't get that involved. So I just love every aspect of filmmaking .
So now that you're a producer, does this mean you're ultra -efficient ?
No! I'm so irresponsible! I lose everything all the time. I lose one credit card every single week. I lose my house keys. I get locked out of my own car. I run out of gas. I'm completely a headin-the-clouds type of person . But I think it's because I'm always day-dreaming about creating things.
How was it working with Eric Bana and Robert Duvall in the drama Lucky You?
I love Robert Duvall; it's so dramatic watching him. And Eric has no Hollywood bullshit about him. But I did the film because I wanted to work with Curtis Hanson. On Halloween last year, he took me to see the 1920 movie Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It starred my grandfather John Barrymore and we both got really emotional. That's why I love Curtis, he's a real movie buff and I feel like his creative soulmate.
