Drew Barrymore Talks Phone Sex, the Internet, and Not Being Perfect

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 27th 2010 09:45PM

Actress Drew Barrymore is on the August cover of Nylon--and I the accompanying interview, the actress opens up about her dislike of technology, being true to herself, and simulating phone sex in her new movie, 'Going the Distance.'

"You know, phone sex going awry is just a funny concept to me and I thought, This is going to be one of those scenes where we have to go balls out, and if it doesn't work, it's going to be editing room floor crap," Barrymore tells the magazine about shooting the phone sex scene.

More excerpts from the interview after the jump.

On being perfect:
"You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that's not only boring as f***, but it's just not real... So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That's essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally f*** it up."

On technology and social media:
"Ironically, with all this, 'We're now more connected than ever with technology,' I don't think we've ever been farther apart. I think it's bulls***."

On beau Justin Long getting naked for their film, 'Going the Distance.:
"It's funny because usually it's the girl who's naked. I was like, 'That's right, b***h. The tables are turned!' "

On working in Hollywood:
"I had a big gap in my life where I wasn't allowed to work at all because no one would hire me, which was great because I think you need that humility. You have to have everything taken away, or you have to have a major reality check, so that you always appreciate what you have."

On shopping:
"I never have time for shopping... I've been wearing the same f***ing pair of jeans for 10 years."

why did they bleep one f-bomb and not the other ????????

By K

Being totally serious - FCC allows all forms of media, including publication, to use the F-Bomb as an adjective. You just can't use it as a noun, pronoun, etc. As long as you are describing something, it's allowed.

However she said the F-bomb...turned me off to her interview. I like Drew, but not her potty mouth. I don't care if the F-bomb is a noun, pronoun, adjective, or dangling participle...Bleeps and **** make me loose interest in the subject matter. I can't take what is said seriously. I consider it a very big lack of vocabulary. We have so many words in the English language better suited to describing things. That way everyone enjoys what is being said.

She's great - I love how real she is. I agree with everything she said minus the profanity.

I wish the best to Drew Barrymore. But I really wish the best for Justin Long. Drew needs to quit stringing her men around. And Justin would surely find a lot of women willing to treat him right. Don't loose him Drew!

Oh, who cares about the "bad" language?

Who decided - centuries ago - that F*cking was offensive, but screwing is OK?

Sh*t vs crap?

D*ck vs penis?

It's all subjective.
