Drew Barrymore says she’s “proud” of her new movie Whip It! — because making it was like “conducting a symphony”.

The film — which stars Juno actress Elen Page — marks Barrymore’s directorial debut.

“I like to see girls do what boys do,” says Drew. “I like for girls to be capable, athletic and empowered. But I also like to see girls being supportive of each other.

“Filming action and stunts is a really challenging thing because there is so much to think about it’s like conducting a symphony. But we did it for this film and I am so proud of it.”

Whip It! hits theaters October 2.

Barrymore, 34, recently insisted she’s in no rush to to settle down.

“Sexual love is secondary to me right now,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love.

“But for the last few years, my life just hasn’t been about that for me. It’s just not about the mother baggage. It’s not about the boy. It’s about something completely different, and it’s very refreshing. I’m trying to understand it and relish it.”
