Drew Barrymore never knew she could be "this content" without being in a relationship.
Drew Barrymore
The 42-year-old actress is currently single after splitting from husband Will Kopelman last year and is just really focused on raising her kids - Olive, five, and Frankie, three.
She said: "My daughters are so fulfilling that I feel like my cup is just avalanching over. If love took on a physical analogy form, I'd be an overstuffed turkey or piñata.
"So I'm not really hungry for it at this moment. I don't think I would have ever known that I could be this content, this whole, without being in a romantic relationship. That would have been a surprise to my younger self."
And Drew admits she was always "overly passionate" when she was younger and can't remember a time when she wasn't in work.
She added to the February issue of InStyle magazine: "From a young age I was overly passionate and thought everything lived and died in a professional atmosphere because, back then, it was really all I had. I didn't have a family. I've been working as long as I can remember."
Meanwhile, Drew previously dubbed her children as the "loves of her life".
She wrote: "The love of my life. Olive. Sunday. Thanksgiving weekend. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. This is a very special time. And may it bring out the best in all of us. And all the spirit of family and loved ones. I never knew I could love so much. I never knew I would be so lucky one day to be a mom. Thank you to all our many blessings for our family. And we wish them right back to yours ...
"The other love of my life. Frankie. Side by side, holding hands. Best moments. I wish I could freeze them in time. To the old sounds of the carousel. Going round and round. These holidays can make me so nostalgic and just a big pile of mush! (sic)"
