Drew Barrymore Quotes

I don't want to have to hide from the world anymore.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

I try to be unafraid of making a fool of myself.

The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked... that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.

Sometimes I get so bold and I'm so confident about what I'm doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it's a really liberating feeling to experience what it's like to not care.

There is something about boldness and fearlessness and being free enough to speak what is on one's mind that warrants freedom.

I don't have any sense of inhibition, so I'm able to lead my life with a lot of honesty.

Stop holding your truth; speak your truth. Be yourself. It's the healthiest way to be.

I think it's good to be a little more fearless in saying what you feel. In not being scared of the repercussions of that.

Personally, coming out was one of the most important things I've ever done, lifting from my shoulders the millstone of lies that I hadn't even realized I was carrying.

At first, I was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you. But I dared myself to do that, to stand out. Now I'll talk about being beaten up or robbed or making a stupid decision because of a girl or whatever.

The older I get, the more I understand that the only way to say valuable things is to lose your fear of being correct.

I think I'm a bit less inhibited, and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful, I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing, and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.

Acting allows me the freedom to let go, to be in the moment, to be spontaneous. I no longer have the fear of losing, of failure.

I want to show people all of me, because that's what I haven't been doing. To be able to play so many instruments, and no one's ever seen me play, it seems like someone who's bluffing.

I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know - especially young people, but really everyone - that you don't have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don't have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.

The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.

I used to be afraid of pain, didn't take a lot of risks, especially in love. I'm not as afraid anymore. I'm more spontaneous, more likely to say what I think.

I'm not hiding who I am anymore - not pretending I'm something I'm not.

There's something which impels us to show our inner souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.

I think a lot of us often don't express how we really feel because we're afraid of what others might think of us. So we secretly admire people who could care less. They do things that we don't allow ourselves to do.

When I started playing music, I was more of a character. Now I'm just me with a cool outfit on. I'm more comfortable being myself.

I remember that when people started listening to what I had to say, I had a choice to set up a veil, even if it meant being something that I'm not. Ultimately, that's not the decision I made. I owned more of everything I am, which was a little nerve-racking.

I want people to... not be afraid of their truth.

I don't live in a prism, and I'm not afraid of anything. I haven't built any walls around myself.
