Drew Barrymore is feeling positive about the future.
The ‘Blended’ star – who announced her split from husband Will Kopelman earlier this month – insists she has ditched her "loosey-goosey" attitude in favour of a more focused outlook on life.
When asked what makes her happy, she told PEOPLE magazine: "Just strength. Now that I’m a mom, and I know that it harkens back to the girls, aside from that, it really is girl power, badass. It is strength, clarity, conviction, health and focus …
"It’s funny, because there are times in my life that I am so loosey-goosey, so hedonistic, and it is so just ‘hippy-dippy,’ but right now I feel this great backbone is, ‘One foot in front of the other,’ which is sort of my attitude right now. That is anything but loosey-goosey – that if you don’t stay in a straight line, you are going to get into trouble."
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old actress – who has Olive, three and Frankie, two, with Will – previously admitted she is "so happy now".
When asked what she would tell her younger self, she said: "I wouldn’t have listened, so I wouldn’t even bother. But everyone wishes that they could know what they know now in a romantic and poetic way because I am so happy now and I have such a good thing in my life with my kids.
"So there is always that want to go into that 12-year-old’s room and say, ‘It’s going to be alright. It’s actually going to be great!’"
