Drew Barrymore premiered her directorial debut ‘Whip It’ in Los Angeles on Tuesday with a cast of leading ladies.

Dressed in a skin tight black dress, Drew said that fear inspired her to take on the new directing challenge.

“Of course, I wanted to believe I could pull this off, I wasn’t sure if I could,” she said. “But, that is where you need to be with your life is constantly challenging yourself and if you know that you can do it, that means you have done it. It is time to turn the fear factor on again, reach new heights. This was everything I wanted to do my whole life, so here I went with it.”

HBIC Drew Barrymore dropped in for a nice visit on Saturday to chat about her brand new movie (and directorial debut) Whip It. She brought along a team of roller derby bad asses and charmed her way to all of our hearts. She talked about the cast’s month of derby training (can you imagine? A month learning how to destroy on roller skates with Drew, Ellen Page, Zoe Bell, Kristin Wiig and Juliette Lewis?!?! OMG) and tackling her first project as a director - particularly her love of the soundtrack. Man, I bet this girl is just the realest. How can I get in on that derby training camp?!
