In a recent interview that Drew Barrymore gave gossip doyen Liz Smith, Drew said, among other things:
"I'm not . . . ego-assertive, I guess. I'm concerned with people's feelings. I never want to get to the point where it's all about MY needs . . . Look, I'm a person who believes that everything has a soul - inanimate objects, washcloths. So, if I'm going to be concerned about a washcloth, I (better) make sure I treat everybody I come into contact with respectfully, if not always lovingly." That way, in the end, she can say she always treated people like washcloths.- Roger Anderson
