Hollywood sweetheart Drew Barrymore relished turning 30 in February because it meant she expanded her twentysomething dreams into reality.

The Wedding Singer actress doesn't understand why so many 29-year-old women dread hitting 30, insisting it's a great age to be.

Barrymore tells the British edition of Cosmopolitan magazine: "It's the best time in my life. What could be traumatic about it? I don't think I've ever been happier.

"Being 30 means taking all of the things that worked in my 20s into my 30s, but not wanting it to be a carbon-copy decade and repeat everything. The first thing I chucked was guilt. Because I'm such a
people-pleaser, I transform too many things into guilt.

"I want to take career goals to new heights. I want to travel more, expand my horizons. I want to do everything from direct a film to write a travel magazine."
