Drew Barrymore appeared on the cover of a fresh issue of the magazine More , says its difficult childhood helped her become a good mother. "You could say that I did not have parents in the full sense of the word, you know? So I'm going to be a mom, which is present in the lives of their children. In a sense, that was the main disadvantage of my youth was the most important advantage of my adult life, "- says 39-year-old actress.

To date, mother of two daughters - Olive (2 years) and Frankie (9 months) - no regrets about the fact that she had to move away from an acting career for the sake of the children and switch to a new business - her own line of makeup with a gentle and romantic name Flower , then there is a "flower".
