Dear God, I do not ask for health or wealth. People ask you so often that you can’t have any left. Give me, God, what else you have. Give me what no-one else asks for. Amen.

I was always into fashion because my mom has always been interested in fashion. She majored in fashion merchandising in college, and it’s always been something we have in common.

You have to be totally one hundred per cent committed to act. I do value everyone else’s advice, but ultimately I have to listen to myself.
DAKOTA FANNING

Advice Committed Hundred
People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for god, and scientists look for evidence. They’re both just trying to take away from the mystery, to take away from the fear.

I’m always able to find light moments on any set, no matter what. Just because a scene is heavy doesn’t mean that you have to be heavy, all day long. I was working with people who had a sense of humor and wanted to have those light moments with me.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I don’t think of it as work. It’s really fun for me.

My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.

With all of the characters I’ve played, I feel like I’ve tried to communicate through my eyes and face, as much or more than with words. That’s something that I like to watch in films, and something that I like to bring to the characters that I play.
