DREW BARRYMORE

Barbara Walters: Drew, tell me the story of your life in 2 minutes.

Drew Barrymore: I was born at 11:05 a.m. in Bartman Memorial Hospital. I'm a 1)Pisces for the 2)Gemini rising.

Barbara: Together?

Drew: I love 3)astrology. It's 4)indicative of something, I'm positive. And I remember my childhood very, very distinctly 1 as if it was like a Super 8 movie that gets played back in my own head. It's like a dream.

Barbara: Bad dream?

Drew: No, a good dream, interesting dream, a different dream at times, but never bad. I never once thought of my life as a bad thing for one moment. There were times where I might not have understood why things were going the way they were going or why certain lessons had to be so 5)harsh, but I never questioned why I had to go through these things, I always knew it was for a higher purpose.

Barbara: You were in E.T. as a 6)practically as a baby, now did you wanna act and that's how it happened or were you plunged 2 to E.T. and low and behold 3 you're an actress?

Drew: Well, when I was 11 months old, my mom took me into an 7)audition for a Gains Burger Puppy 4 Chow commercial, and the dog bit me on the nose, and everybody thought, "Oh, 8)lawsuits!" And I just looked around this room of adults like with these panic looks on their faces and it made me laugh, and I started laughing until "Hired!" So that was my first job and I think my mom thought that this was a good thing for me.

Barbara: You went into Rehab. Those were difficult times?

Drew: Yeah, that was tough. It's hard when you're young to go through something so scary, but it's strange cause I think, a part of me could've become so bitter from that, but I'm so grateful because in turn the best thing of my life came from that which was the deepest appreciation 5 for freedom, the outside, how good life can be. It's not that you see things that other people don't, you just have this 9)weird knowledge that I don't wish upon anybody, but if you have to get it. It's very worth while.

Barbara: You know, I look at you and you're so young, and you're so fresh and you're so beautiful, and then I know that when you were like about 14 or so, you tried to kill yourself. I mean it breaks my heart.

Drew: If you can believe that a person can grow and therefore change, which is what makes me understand why I had to do and go through some of the things I had to go through, I'm such an extraordinarily 6 different person now. The value I have for life means more to me than anything.

Barbara: OK, look ahead, where you're goanna be? Ordinarily, I would say 10 years, but where are you goanna be 5 years from now, what's the dream?

Drew: Same one I've since I was little: to be on a farm, to be with lots of animals, to be with someone I love, and one night it will rain, and I'll know that I finally got there. 

Barbara: One night it will rain?

Drew: Yeah.

Barbara: What's that got to do with it?

Drew: I love the rain.

珠儿·巴里摩

心路历程

芭芭拉·沃尔特：珠儿，试用两分钟来讲讲你的身世。

珠儿·巴里摩：我上午11点零五分出生在巴特曼纪念医院。是双鱼座，上升星座是双子座。

芭芭拉：一块儿？

珠儿：我喜爱占星。我相信它能做出预测。我非常清楚地记得童年，它仿佛是一部超八厘米电影，在我的脑海中重放。就像做梦一样。

芭芭拉：恶梦吗？

珠儿：不，是好梦，有趣的梦，每次梦都不同，但绝不是恶梦。我从没认为我的生活是糟糕的。尽管有些时候我不是很明白为什么事情会变成这样，或者教训怎么如此严峻，可我从没质疑过为何会有这样的经历，我理解为这是为了让我达到一个更高的高度。

芭芭拉：实际上你很小的时候就演出《E.T.回家》，拍《E.T.回家》时你是想演戏呢还只是偶然发生的，你当时知不知道你是在演戏？

珠儿：唔，我11个月大的时候，妈妈带我去给“小狗汉堡”的广告试镜，狗儿咬住了我的鼻子，人人都想：“糟，要给起诉了！”我望了望房间四周，大人们的脸上都惊慌失措的，倒弄得我大笑起来，直到有人说“就用她！”我于是得到了第一份工作，我想妈妈也觉得那对我来说是件好事。

芭芭拉：你曾经进过感化院。那段时间是不是过得很困难？

珠儿：是的，很困难。年纪轻轻却要经历那么可怕的事情是不容易的，有时候我觉得很奇怪，自己曾过得那么苦，可我很感激那段经历，因为如今终于迎来了生命的精彩，我从中体验到对自由与外面世界的深深珍惜，生活原来可以这么美好。这并非是你看到了与别人不同的事物才得出的怪论，我不希望这样的事也发生在别人身上，但你一旦体验到了，也是很值得的。

芭芭拉：知道吗，我看到的你是那么年轻、清纯和美丽，但我知道大约14岁的时候你曾企图要自杀。我的意思是那让我很伤心。

珠儿：你得相信，人总是会成长、会改变的，那令我明白到自己为什么会做和经历过那些事情，如今我已是脱胎换骨。由此产生的人生观对我来说意义重大。

芭芭拉：好吧，展望未来，你有何打算？说句寻常话，我想问十年以后你有何打算，梦想是什么？

珠儿：梦想同我小时候想的还是一样：有一个农场，有许多动物，和我爱的人在一起，在一个雨夜里我终于明白到梦想成真了。

芭芭拉：一个雨夜？

珠儿：是的。

芭芭拉：和那有什么关系吗？

珠儿：我喜欢雨天。
