20th Century Fox/Courtesy Everett Collection Drew Barrymore is reflecting on past roles she believes can change the trajectory of your life. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight on Monday about her new Netflix animated childrens series Princess Power with Savannah Guthrie , Barrymore referenced her 1998 movie Ever After: A Cinderella Story as an example of empowering storytelling that impacted her personally.

I was like, I dont think I would be the same person without giving a spin on what we think a princess is supposed to be. Barrymore went on to explain that Ever After s messaging — the film is a retelling of the classic Cinderella fairy tale — changed the way I saw the world after she filmed the movie, which released when the actress was 23. I was in my early 20s and then I was trying to start a company and wanted to tell stories and make films and that particular messaging that you can rescue yourself and you dont have to wait to be rescued is definitely the thing that set me up best in my life, Barrymore told the outlet.

Last Thursday, Barrymore spoke out about the the Razzie Awards decision to nominate Firestarter s 12-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong among the spoof award shows worst performances of the year — a decision which the organization has apologized for and changed its guidelines so it will not nominate anyone under 18 moving forward. I dont like it. Because she is younger, and it is bullying, Barrymore — who was the lead of 1984s Firestarter adaptation — said on CBS Mornings .
