"I've been turned on, in the last year or two, to the notion that we have to be good, not only to each other but ourselves,"she told the audience. "'Cause that wasn't on the table for me. Everybody else! So much grace. And then I would get to me and I'd be like, 'God darn it! How could you?'" Drew didn't like how mean she was to herself. "I would never treat another human being like that," she confessed. And so, the actress decided to make a change in her 50th year.

Drew declared. "There is something always good on the other side of fear. Life is delicious. There is good things. We can find the strength to take on whatever it is that we do." Whether that's "[eating] that pint of ice cream" or getting together with friends, "do what it takes to make yourself feel happy because you deserve it," she said. " And if you got to happy, you earned it because you did a lot of hard work to get there. It doesn't just come automatically."
