New Delhi, Feb 6 : Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore believes that all people are" fields of energy", and while it is up to them to be negative or positive, she believes in emitting positive energy and vibes.

"I like projecting positivity. I believe that we are all fields of energy and you have the choice whether to be a positive or negative field of energy. I know that sounds hippie-ish but it''s what I believe fundamentally. So you could be a bag of toxicity, or you could be a happy, good person that spreads joy. I believe in spreading joy," Drew said.

The `Never Been Kissed' actress has encountered many problems herself, as she has completed two stints in rehab during her teenage years and has been divorced twice, reports the China Daily.

She, however, maintains that she is living proof of the fact that tough times can make people stronger, and that despite problems they can retain positivity.

"Everybody goes through hardships and it''s your choice how to deal with them. Your choice should be to progress and to evolve, and to handle things with some level of graciousness," she said.

"Yeah, life is hard sometimes - but I think you probably have to just realize, you know, that someone is probably experiencing something more difficult and to please work past it as expediently as possible," she added. (ANI)
