Drew Barrymore hasn’t been on holiday for three years.

The actress — who makes her directorial debut with new movie Whip It, out now — says she knows she needs to take a vacation soon before she burns out, but she just can’t stop working.

“My flaw that I’d like to make peace with is to take a vacation,” said Drew. “So, if I do that this Fall you’ll know that I’ve done something for the first time in three years that I have not done.”

Drew, 34 — who has had an on/off relationship with actor Justin Long — recently insisted she’s in no rush to settle down.

“Sexual love is secondary to me right now,” she said. “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.”
