Los Angeles: Actress Drew Barrymore "freaked out" after taking a break from her career to embark on a year-long spiritual quest abroad.
After wrapping her 2009 directorial debut with ‘Whip It’, the 37-year-old went on a solo journey to India to give herself a chance to reflect on her future.
However, Barrymore admits she panicked when the time came to give up her career.
"It freaked me out. I was afraid to let go. But with great risk comes great reward. We always wonder (when single), `Where is this person? Oh my God, I`m lonely, what`s my future?`"
"But eventually you`ll meet somebody, and this time will be gone. And you will kick yourself for not enjoying it. For me, that year was a great investment. It made me realise, I`m ready for something different," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
