Drew Barrymore Quotes

You're not supposed to have it all figured out in high school. If you knew it all, and it was the best, it's all downhill from there.

Life doesn't come with an instruction manual.

There's no 'Chutes and Ladders' in life.

Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.

LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.

We learn the rope of life by untying its knots.

I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.

I'm only 26 - I don't know anything about life yet. Life is like a puzzle and my pieces are spread all over the world.

Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don't really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen.

I've learned from experience you just never know what happens in life.

Here's a secret: Everyone, if they live long enough, will lose their way at some point. You will lose your way; you will wake up one morning and find yourself lost. This is a hard, simple truth.

Now, you lose something in your life, or you come into a conflict, and there's gonna come a time that you're gonna know: There was a reason for that. And at the end of your life, all the things you thought were periods, they turn out to be commas. There was never a full stop in any of it.

Everyone is flailing through this life without an owner's manual, with whatever modicum of grace and good humor we can manage.

Well, I've had to deal with everything in my life... leavin' the family, learnin' what not and what to do.

I'm so thankful for that struggling period. That time is really great where you have no idea what's going to happen.

You know, everybody has setbacks in their life, and everybody falls short of whatever goals they might set for themselves. That's part of living and coming to terms with who you are as a person.

We all get where we're going by circuitous journeys, and some of the setbacks are warranted.

Life throws curveballs.

Sometimes I think back to everything I've been through, and I wonder, 'Man, how the hell did I get here?'

Life can very genuinely and realistically pile things on. It doesn't dole out the heartache and pain, or joy, perfectly.

Part of what you learn about life is that a wrecking ball can come out of nowhere, and it isn't just going to take out your left toe. It can hit you right in the middle and take you down.

In this journey, the fear creeps in from time to time. The hint of that is there because there's an unknown factor to everything. That's true in everyone's life. I don't choose to live there; I let it spark me.

'Magic Mike' is about guys learning that sometimes you can't control your life; you have to trust your intentions and instincts and let the road take you where it wants to go. It's about trusting that things will make sense when you look back, not when you look forward.

We don't know where we'll end up, but making moments matter - taking a step back to see something from a different vantage point and investing in your core values - can lead to a world of surprises.

In my life, being true to myself certainly hasn't made things easier. You could never accuse me of taking the path of least resistance.
