	Renner said that having a child has also completely changed his attitude to his career.
	"I thought I liked what I do for a living, but now I have this little wonderful creature, and she kind of squashes all that. She's messed up my life in the most beautiful way possible. She takes all of my love," he said.

Actress Drew Barrymore says she relies more on her friends to give her direction since she had a 'zero-point-zero' family.
	Barrymore, 39, said her friends had become her family while she was growing up, reported Variety.
	"I appreciate that terms like 'modern family' and 'blended' have become familiar in the culture as ways to describe a pride in a family that doesn't look a certain way.
	"I think that my family looks traditional from the outside, but I also know that I had kind of 'zero-point-zero' family growing up, and it was my friends that became my family and they gave me a sense of place in the world and they gave me tough love," Barrymore said.
	Barrymore believes families are supportive and honest and have no rules.
	"I think there are no rules. I think of family as where you feel safe. It's where you feel supported, and it's where people are being deathly honest with you," added Barrymore.

	When Anurag saw the film he loved it and when he learnt that nobody wants to release it in India that is when he thought of presenting it.
	"The film is not about RSS it has nothing to do with it. Rather it is about these two girls who are telling their story and what they chose to do and how they want to live life with dignity.
