Drew Barrymore insists she’s in no rush rush to settle down.

The actress — who has had an on/off relationship with actor Justin Long — says finding love isn’t important to her.

“Sexual love is secondary to me right now,” Barrymore tells Parade magazine in its latest issue. “I’ve spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love.

“But for the last few years, my life just hasn’t been about that for me. It’s just not about the mother baggage. It’s not about the boy. It’s about something completely different, and it’s very refreshing. I’m trying to understand it and relish it.”

Barrymore also discussed her seemingly carefree spirit. “I don’t know if I’m completely comfortable ever,” she said. “Sometimes I can totally let go with complete abandon — sing and dance and run around and not care what people think about me. Still, there seems to be this ball of stress inside me that I can’t get rid of.”

The star — who checked into rehab at the of 13 — also revealed she’s not “completely sober.”

“I don’t claim to be — quite the opposite,” she said. “I’ve tried to find the balance. I hope it’s balanced.”
