London: Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore often feels like a boy because she is not girly, has affinity towards sports and likes "hot chicks".
The American actress who made her directorial debut in the new movie `Whip It`, a story about a teenager who is pushed into beauty pageants by her mother before becoming a roller derby player doesn`t like being girly and often feels quite "androgynous", Times online reported.
"I`m like a 13 or 14-year-old boy who loves fun music and hot chicks and sport, and I like empowerment and women who are capable and humorous. I think I am extremely androgynous. I love comedy and jokes. I am always the person who is fighting in marketing meetings, `Please don`t forget the boys, remember them too`," Barrymore said.
"Whenever people get too girly, I am, like, `No, no.` I just appreciate women and whenever I fall in love with their minds and their talents, that is really what gets me hot," she added.
The 35-year-old star also admits that her life is much more balanced with her growing age because nothing overwhelms her now.
"I think you start to feel more secure. You feel so overwhelmed in your 20s, and you sit around going, `Oh my god!`. You find yourself talking to friends about work and your life, and you wonder if it is all going to be OK - `Is this going to work out, what is going to happen?` Now, I don`t feel as if I know it`s going to be OK, but I don`t feel it is going to kill me. I`ve got a good perspective on life now. It`s like, `We are going to get through this.`," she said.
