Actress/director of Whip It Drew Barrymore says she tries to make the most of each day, reports parade.com.
"Nancy, who runs my production company and is my favourite person I've met in my life so far, had on her refrigerator the sign, 'HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE.' When I first saw it, I thought, 'That is so simple and yet complex and wise.'"
She also says she's in no rush to find a mate.
"Sexual love is secondary to me right now. I've spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love. But for the last few years, my life just hasn't been about that for me ... It's about something completely different, and it's very refreshing. I'm trying to understand it and relish it."
On life's ups and downs, Barrymore says, "I've stopped believing in happy endings. I've started believing in good days ... What tomorrow will bring is still in question. There is a joy that's earned by failure or triumph. All those things add up to teach us, if we are open to it."
