Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore is to take a break from the red carpet to focus on her family.
The 39-year-old actress - who welcomed second daughter Frankie into the world last week - is ready to make changes to her life that will allow her to spend more time with husband Will Kopelman, their new baby and eldest daughter Olive, 19 months.
The actress said, "I want to lead a very different kind of life and enjoy my time with my family.
"It's always been about film or a film production, producing, acting - every little detail that goes into film-making. I didn't know how to have a life under those circumstances.
"When you're on a film, you're in the middle of nowhere working 18 hours a day and it's really hard to have a life. I commend people who seem to balance it. I'm not sure how they do it," she said.
"I decided I needed to take a break and change things. You're afraid to let go of the life you've gotten used to, but taking that time away from work was probably what led to the place where I was ready to meet my husband and figure out how to be happy with him and also to be a good mom."
