She said: "When you're young you just want to be in love. I call it crazy love, because you just want to have fun and you're not thinking about the future or kids. You just want to have a good time with that person."

Then, as you get older, even children aside, you just think, 'God, I actually like when it's easy, and I want these attributes from this person. I need these kinds of systems in place to feel calm.

"In a lot of ways I feel like I have a little bit of dude inside me, except mine happens to be a 13-year-old boy, not a fully-fledged man. I like a good strip club as much as the next guy. I actually like it," said the 35-year-old actress.

Barrymore who is reportedly dating actor Justin Long, said that she hates being told to settle down.

"If you're 35 and single and it's a choice, it feels fine. So I didn't settle with the wrong person yet. Big deal," said the actress.

She added that disconnecting from her responsibilities has given her time to reflect on spiritual matters.

"I'm thinking about the same things as when I was 15, about spirituality and who I am, who I want to be. It's cocoon, pupa, larva, and f**k, I'm reborn!"

Recalling the first record she ever bought, she said: "The one I really remember was the Go-Go's, Beauty And The Beat. That was, like, the first freak-out I had, where it changed my life. That was girl power."
