Drew Barrymore graces the cover of Nylon Magazine August 2010. n her interview wit the mag she chats about honesty, her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Long, her upcoming romantic comedy 'Going the Distance', which hits theater August 27.
- On being perfect: “You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that’s not only boring as f**k, but it’s just not real…So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That’s essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally f**k it up.”
- On Hollywood: “I had a big gap in my life where I wasn’t allowed to work at all because no one would hire me, which was great because I think you need that humility. You have to have everything taken away, or you have to have a major reality check, so that you always appreciate what you have.”
- On technology: “Ironically, with all this, ‘We’re now more connected than ever with technology,’ I don’t think we’ve ever been farther apart. I think it’s bulls**t. Everyone feels more connected but they’re weirdly disconnected.”
- On phone sex in Going the Distance: “You know, phone sex going awry is just a funny concept to me and I thought, This is going to be one of those scenes where we have to go balls out, and if it doesn’t work, it’s going to be editing room floor crap.”
- On Justin Long’s nudity in the new film: “It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, b*tch. The tables are turned!’”
- On shopping: “I never have time for shopping. I like it…I think? If i ever do go shopping, I hit thrift stores ’cause I know I’ll find new pieces around a job or a shot. I’ve been wearing the same pair of jeans for 10 years.”
