I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity. And then right after I give him the honor and glory I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory. And that's how it works because Christ comes first in my life and then my family and then my teammates.

The only people that you really have that I learned are your family because they love you no matter what.

I love when I go out and I have my hair and makeup done but I also like it when I'm just with the family because that's real.

Because I didn't have brothers I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.

My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.

My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them 'Hey I'm rich'.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing I fear for their safety.

I am not generous about telling people who I am and what I like to do because it's my life and it only belongs to me and my friends and family.
