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. Im a 1)Pisces for the 2)Gemini rising.

Barbara: Together?

Drew: I love 3)astrology. Its 4)indicative of something, Im positive. And I remember my childhood very, very distinctly as if it was like a Super 8 movie that gets played back in my own head. Its 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 thats how it happened or were you plunged to E.T. and low and behold youre an actress?

Drew: Well, when I was 11 months old, my mom took me into an 7)audition for a Gains Burger Puppy 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. Its hard when youre young to go through something so scary, but its strange cause I think, a part of me couldve become so bitter from that, but Im so grateful because in turn the best thing of my life came from that which was the deepest appreciation for freedom, the outside, how good life can be. Its not that you see things that other people dont, you just have this 9)weird knowledge that I dont wish upon anybody, but if you have to get it. Its very worth while.

Barbara: You know, I look at you and youre so young, and youre so fresh and youre 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, Im such an extraordinarily different person now. The value I have for life means more to me than anything.

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

Drew: Same one Ive 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 Ill know that I finally got there.

Barbara: One night it will rain?

Drew: Yeah.

Barbara: Whats that got to do with it?

Drew: I love the rain.
