Last week SI writer Richard Deitsch interviewed actress Drew Barrymore for the magazine's Q&A. The actress (Fever Pitch) costars in the upcoming poker drama Lucky You. Here are additional excerpts from the interview:

Drew Barrymore: So do I get a free football phone?

SI: I'll see what I can do.

Barrymore: I really want one. I like movies for boys even though I am inherently a woman. And I like anytime I can talk to SI. See, I called it "SI."

SI: You just gained some cred around here. In Lucky You, you're the girlfriend of a poker pro, played by Eric Bana. How do you explain the poker boom? 

Barrymore: You can be from anywhere. You can be a 16-year-old who plays on the Internet or Doyle Brunson or a woman from a small town or a mover and shaker, and everybody is accepted. There is a lack of discrimination. And the fact that it's a lot about skill and yet there is a little luck involved.

SI: How often do you play?

Barrymore: I play with friends on the weekend. We break out pitchers of beer and play Texas hold 'em. I like any sport where you can drink beer.

SI: So is there anyone in your Friday-night game we would know?

Barrymore: My best friend is a makeup artist. My other friend is writer for Rolling Stone. I'll try to get my boyfriend to play. He was sort of into it for a while, but he's not so into it anymore.
