DAKOTA FANNINGIt can be easy to get caught up in craziness or insecurity.
DAKOTA FANNINGI love the feeling I get when I’m on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.
DAKOTA FANNINGIt’s what I love about what I do and the life that I’m able to have and be able to just be so normal one day and be here the next…I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do.
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 FANNINGDear 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.
DAKOTA FANNINGI 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.
DAKOTA FANNINGYou 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 FANNINGI’ve been able to go so many places. I had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong when I was thirteen years old which is crazy. I lived there for three months. It was amazing. I couldn’t ask for a more enriched life so far.
DAKOTA FANNINGI’m the girl that’s on the beach with a hat on, under an umbrella. Like, very shaded.
DAKOTA FANNINGActing 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.
DAKOTA FANNINGSometimes I am kind of the opposite of my character. But that’s the thing about acting, you get to play people who are not like you at all.
DAKOTA FANNINGMy favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.
DAKOTA FANNINGWith 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.
DAKOTA FANNINGEvery day, we communicate more with our energy, body language, face and eyes. That really is what communication is, and not so much words. And it’s rare that you get to explore that in a film.
DAKOTA FANNINGCourtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters.
DAKOTA FANNINGI learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.
