London
(ANI):
'Charlie"s
Angles" star
Drew
Barrymore
says
she
has
been
'training"
to
become
a
filmmaker
since
she
was
six
years
old.
The
stunner
stepped
behind
the
camera
for
the
first
time
to
work
on
the
2009
comedy
Whip
It.
The
actress/producer
admits
her
work
as
a
kid
with
her
godfather
Steven
Spielberg
taught
her
enough
the
skills
of
direction.
"I
handled
my
godfather's
(Spielberg's)
scripts
when
I
was
six
years
old.
I've
been
training
for
this
my
whole
life,
and
I'm
OK
with
slow
and
steady
wins
the
race," she
said.
"After
producing
for
15
years,
working
with
all
the
filmmakers
I
worked
with,
learning
what
I
like
and
don't
like
and
really
immersing
myself
in
the
process,"
The
Daily
Star
quoted
her
as
saying.
She
added:
“I
felt
much
more
prepared
to
go
walk
that
plank
because
I
knew
what
I
was
walking
into.
You
still
have
to
be
humble
and
know
you're
on
a
learning
curve
because
directing
is
a
whole
other
animal,
no
matter
how
good
a
producer
you
are,
or
how
much
you've
been
watching
people.
To
become
the
captain
of
a
ship
is
just
new
territory."
