Drew Barrymore isn’t afraid to take her career in different directions.
The actress — who makes her directorial debut with new movie Whip It, starring Ellen Page — says it is the fear of failing that drives her to trying something new.
“I don’t want to just be comfortable and stick to things I know how to do, because they’re easier,” she said. “I want to do those where I have to ask myself ‘I really don’t know if I can pull this off or not’.
“Living in that fear is very motivating — it’s very unsettling, but it’s very motivating.”
Barrymore, 34, recently revealed that she’d love nothing more than to take a vacation — but she can’t stop herself from working!
“My flaw that I’d like to make peace with is to take a vacation,” she said. “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.”
