Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade · RE-RELEASE - Drew Barrymore · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

And there were men and women giving me those opportunities.

I just wrote the forward to the new E.T.

book because it's the 40th anniversary.

And I was talking about Kathleen Kennedy and Melissa Matheson.

You know, I saw women at work.

um so uh i i just really didn't have that i need to be aggressive or act like a man to get anything done i always felt permission to check in with my idols the gogos and pippi longstocking who were all girl all the time but they did everything that boys did

and it became my ethos on making Charlie's Angels was why do women have to pretend to be men in order to look strong and capable?

Because the truth is in my world, if I was kicking butt with my girlfriends, we would totally be talking about last night's date while taking the bad guy down.

And bad guy could be, again, bad guy or bad girl.

I've never been affected.

Luckily, I've not had the unfortunate ingenue treatment of being held back.

Or as I started a production company at 19 and we was really in the era of the power suit woman, I was like intimidated by that.

and just felt like, screw it, I'm gonna be a girl with my corduroys and my transport backpacks, and the work is gonna speak for me.

And no man has ever kept me down.

They've only helped give me opportunities as women have.

And I'm just, I'm a girl.

And I think the one thing that's always stuck out for me about men first and foremost was that like a lot of my comedy influence when I was young came from men.

There weren't a ton of female comedians.

There's so many more now.

I feel like the playing field is so much more equal.
