Love Quote by Drew Barrymore

"I've always said that one night, I'm going to find myself in some field somewhere, I'm standing on grass, and it's raining, and I'm with the person I love, and I know I'm at the very point I've been dreaming of getting to"

About this Quote

Barrymore’s fantasy lands with the quiet force of someone who’s been surrounded by noise her entire life. No red carpets, no spotlight, not even a room. Just a field, wet grass, rain, and one person. It’s a deliberately anti-celebrity image: privacy as the ultimate luxury, ordinariness as the ultimate status symbol. When you’ve grown up in public, the most radical dream isn’t more attention; it’s the right kind of anonymity.

The specificity does the emotional heavy lifting. “Some field somewhere” refuses a postcard location, which makes it feel less like a movie scene and more like a lived-in wish. The rain isn’t romantic polish; it’s discomfort you accept because you’re finally safe. That detail signals a deeper hunger: not for perfection, but for presence. She’s not picturing a wedding, a house, a milestone photo. She’s picturing a moment that can’t be monetized.

The line “at the very point I’ve been dreaming of getting to” frames love as arrival, but not in the glossy, careerist sense. It’s the end of striving, the end of performing. Coming from Barrymore, whose public narrative has included childhood fame, tabloid scrutiny, and reinvention, the subtext reads like a truce with herself: the dream isn’t to be adored by the world, it’s to stop needing the world as a witness.

It works because it turns aspiration inside out. The climax is small, weather-soaked, and private - and that’s exactly why it feels like the real prize.
