Cameron and Drew Show Us What True Friendship Looks Like
Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore have been best friends for 24 years, and they always have each other's backs. The most recent example was when Cameron jumped to Drew's defense after a radio host commented on Drew's history of drug abuse. Not only did Cameron call out the host, but she also abruptly ended the interview afterward. Most of the time, the pals just talk about each other in a positive way, telling stories about their decades of friendship or explaining why they have such a big sisterly bond. We've rounded up some of the sweetest things Cameron and Drew have said about each other below. Source: Getty / Jeffrey Mayer

Cameron on Drew's "Big Heart"
"She has the most amazing heart. She is one of my closest girlfriends, but the way she loves the people around her is really special. She is so giving of herself and so accepting of others. She has created this community for herself. She didn't really have a strong family, so friends are her family. She really loves on that level of just unconditional love. And her friends around her love her in that way as well. She is one big heart, Drew! She doesn't even wear it on her sleeve; it's like she is just a heart." — InStyle, January 2004
Drew on How She and Cameron Met
"She was 16 and I was 14 when we became friends. We were both LA kids. I worked in a coffeehouse, and she was a model. I served her a coffee, and we had mutual friends, and we just knew each other from around town. I will say this about her — she was always kind. Someone who looks like that, they could have an attitude, and she was the opposite. She was friendly and goofy and really nice. So when we got older and our lives had taken very different directions, I called her up and said, 'I have this amazing idea. I know exactly how I wanna do it. It's Charlie's Angels. Come play with me!' And she said yes! And then we just went on some of the best years of our lives." — The Katie Couric Show, January 2013

Drew on Cameron Being Her "Big Sister"
"What's helped me is having really good friends I know I can rely on. Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give. We also support each other through the bad times. I've always felt like she's my big sister, but at the same time I know that sometimes I'm wiser and a bit less naive than she is. We just spend so much time having fun and laughing together. That's what true friendship is about." — Look magazine, August 2008

"Literally I said, 'That makes me want to vomit in my mouth.' That's like saying I am having sex with my sister. Are you crazy? I wouldn't even ménage with her!" — Harper's Bazaar, August 2014

Drew on Their "Sisterly, Cozy, Nurturing" Love
"She's my sister, but we bro out and have crazy adventures. I always know that she is game. Most people don't know this, but she's very edgy. That has been a big part of our friendship, knowing that she will throw down at any time as well as that sisterly, cozy, nurturing love that we have." — Cosmopolitan, June 2011
