Drew Barrymore Quotes

I've found joy, peace and perspective. Those are very good things to have.

I can find the fun in most situations.

I just show up and try to find the joy in every situation.

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.

I don't know why 'happy' can't be a story.

Well, I'd say all of us are a combination of moods and emotions. In my day to day life I don't go around skipping, but at times one can feel sheer exhilarating joy at the world.

I love life too much to be bitter.

The way things have gone in my life, sure, I could have been a bitter person. But I just find bitter people really un-fun, you know? And who wants to be that person?

I am a positive person. I am not cynical. If you are born in this world, no matter who you are, negative things will happen. If you aren't positive as a person, you'll be very unhappy. It's extremely important to be positive, to laugh, to be happy, to accept life as it comes.

Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.

I treasure laughs more than anything; they've helped me in life the most.

I know that there are other sides to life. All the more reason why I now try to convey to the people out there how important it is to feel a sense of joy.

I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really wonderful thing is that I know it.

The child in you, like all children, loves to laugh, to be around people who can laugh at themselves and life. Children instinctively know that the more laughter we have in our lives, the better.

Life is grim, and we don't have to be grim all the time.

I think when I look out and I see there's so much negativity in the world and a lot of people are unhappy and a lot people are anxious, it just feels like that's one view of the world. But you don't have to always focus on that view of the world.

I think it's almost an indulgence to focus on the dark side of things. And as you get older, you want to focus on the positive.

You have to find some way to not become a cynical or negative person, a person who keeps walking around and opening your eyes in the outside world but inside you close down, a person who stops expecting tomorrow to be better than today.

Be happy. Don't make a Vine about, like, something not that happy.

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter.

I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you're grateful for each day. Now I'm constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful.

You know, why at the end of your life should you assemble thousands of pages of 'Why am I so sad, why am I so depressed?' Instead, assemble thousands of pages of why you're so content.

I sensed that my life was better when I focused on things that were working as opposed to focusing on the long list that goes wrong, but I wanted to know if there was any validity to that.

I am an optimist. I think, as bad as life sometimes gets, there is so much joy and so much good stuff, that there is a balance.

You live your life day by day and find ways to get through it. You grow up through things that are challenging and you find the joy. You realize there are so many people that have it much worse and remind yourself. I have been very blessed.
