DAKOTA FANNINGI was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
DAKOTA FANNINGPeople are lonely in this world for lots of different reasons. Some people have something in their disposition. Maybe they were born too mean, or maybe they were born too tender.
DAKOTA FANNINGDon’t touch your brows. I’ve never done anything to my eyebrows.
