In an interview with Elle mag, Drew mentioned she was once one hundred p.c dedicated to the function and really sought after to nail the physicality of Little Edie in her efficiency. During a assembly with producers for the position she desperately sought after, she laid it all out, "I knew this was not a courtesy meeting, but not far from it. I didn't want to come in there like a hungry freak. But I also felt every second counting."

She persisted, "I just put it out there. I said, 'Look — I have all of this inside of me, and I promise you that I will change my face to be her. I will learn how to stop talking out of the side of my mouth. I will go to school to relearn body language. I will shut out the world. I will not talk to my friends. I will give up my life for this, because I don't think you can play this character and have a social life and balance the two mentalities. I wont act. I'll become this person.'"

"I did what I do when I have a big challenge lying in my path. I go to school. I shut the windows, the shades come down, the phone gets turned off, I don't go out — I study."

And whilst there are some jokes about the approach Drew Barrymore talks out of the side of her mouth being caused by a stroke, no, she's never had one. But she did date Fabrizio Moretti, drummer for The Strokes from January 2003 until February 2007. So yes, she's technically "had a Stroke" if you want to put it that method.
