~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
No. What is "normal," anyway? I don't want to be normal. This is my childhood. I've been to Australia, traveled, and learned about different cultures. Some people never leave the country in their entire lifetime. My job has opened my mind up and enriched my childhood. I have friends like anyone else, and I go shopping at the mall and do everything everyone else does.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
You know, I don't have an allowance. My mom and dad just didn't think that I needed one, and also, they want me to do chores around the house because I want to do them, and not because, "Oh, you're not gonna get your allowance this week if you don't clean your room!" When my sister and I do the dishes, we pretend we're waiters, and we're like "Here, we have tacos!" and things like that. We do things to make things fun.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I've never asked for anyone's autograph. It's not that I'm embarrassed. It's just like, the actors I've worked with have become friends, so it would be like asking a friend for their autograph, and I know them so well. When you ask someone for their autograph, it's like you don't know them, but I do.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I really like all the parts of it, but one of my favorites is that you get to be somebody else, unlike yourself, and you get to meet new people and go to different locations. Like, I'm going to Australia, and I'd probably never do that otherwise. And with Mexico, I probably would have never gone there if I didn't do the movie Man on Fire, and you get to meet wonderful people, and memories you'll have for the rest of your life.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
No not really, it is just like real life. Not everyday you are happy and not everyday you are sad.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and they made everybody really happy on the set too.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I just feel so blessed to be able to [act], because it's unbelievable to work with these great actors that I have worked with and I have all these friends that I've made on sets that I'll have all my life. That's the best part about it.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I try and learn something knew on every movie I do. I try to better myself from everything and from everyone on the film and from my characters. I've been very fortunate to play all different kinds. I just try and portray the character and the themes I fell in love with in the script.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I'm a little bit embarrassed when I hear things like that. I don't think of myself that way. When people say that, it's really nice, but I don't even think that's true.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But you have the parties that you go to and you get to see them, like the premieres and the screenings.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I'm home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
When it gets to the point of attacking my mother, my agent ... my teacher, who were all on the set that day, that started to make me mad. I can let other things go, but when people start to talk about my mother, like, that's really bad in my opinion ... that's an attack, and that's not fair. They hadn't seen the movie.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
My parents wouldn't allow me to get above myself – ever. They never pushed me into acting. They just want me to do whatever makes me happy. If I had chosen something else, they would have been just as supportive.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
It's an honor even to get to be in movies and have the opportunity to work with the people that I have worked with. I worked with Denzel Washington in Mexico City, and it's hard to believe that I've worked with him, and Sean Penn, and Brittany Murphy, and everybody else.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
It's just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place, Vancouver, and I had a great time.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
In the happy scenes there were really fun times. Sean would say really funny stuff because he likes to improv. I would want to laugh, but you are not allowed to do that during the take.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
It's what I want to do, it's what I've been so lucky to have done for almost seven years now. And I am getting older. February 23 is my birthday, I'll be 13 years old. And I will be playing different kinds of roles. I won't be able to do the things I did when I was 6 years old when I'm 14. And that's what I look forward to - getting to play new roles that aren't too old for me and aren't too young for me, that are just at the right time.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I was really excited about meeting Tom for the first time, and I remember he was coming out of all this dirt and explosions and black smoke [while filming the movie], and he walked out, and he came over, and he put his hands on my shoulders and said, "We're making War of the Worlds, baby!" It's a story that I will tell my children and grandchildren someday. He made me a better actress.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
That was really cool. I got to kiss a little boy. I was 7 and he was 10, and his name is Thomas Curtis. He was the first boy I've ever kissed in my entire life and he was three years older than me.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
My mom, she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she's always with me on everything. The most I've ever been away from her is two days. I love her more than anybody could ever know.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I learned something different on all my movies. With Sean Penn, he taught me how to adlib. Then I learned from Denzel Washington; he's just so focused on his work and puts his whole thoughts into it. And then Mike [Myers], he's just so hilarious. He's so fun to be around. Brittany [Murphy], she's so nice to everybody, and she's so funny, but then also she's very dedicated to her work and just does a fantastic job.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I can't change the speed that I'm growing up at. I know what I was meant to do, and I feel at home.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I think most people think that kids in the business are brats, but you don't have to be a brat to be an actress. I just enjoy it so much that there is no time to do anything like that. And why would I want to?
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I'm going to be a freshman in high school in September [2007], and I think it would be irresponsible of my parents not to let me know of things that happen and to try not to get yourself in uncomfortable situations. It's educational.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
It's a movie, and it's called acting. What drew me to the film was that my character shows people that you can overcome adversity in life, and it doesn't define you. My character has so many other interests and talents that just because something terrible happened to her doesn't mean she can't have a great life.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I'm so blessed in my life. I don't want this time of my life to end, and I don't take anything for granted. I don't want to grow up too fast, so I'm just enjoying every minute of my life.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I think one of the fun things about getting older is that more roles open up for you to do. I'm excited that there are so many more stories out there. I'm looking forward to that. I love what I'm doing, and I can't imagine doing anything else but acting. I know I want to act always.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I recently saw a play that I did when I was five, and it's so funny. I played a little blue fish, and I took it so seriously! I think I loved doing it [acting] even then, and I just wanted to do the best job that I could.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
Well, I have an aunt who's disabled, so she has some of the same tendencies that Sean Penn's character does, so I could really relate to that character, because I had grown up with someone who was mentally challenged, and that just made me want to do the film even more, so I could let my feelings out.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
I've always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.
~ Dakota Fanning Quote
One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you'd never do in real life.
