DAKOTA FANNINGDon’t touch your brows. I’ve never done anything to my eyebrows.
DAKOTA FANNINGIt’s hard to remember when you look at a magazine or when you look at pictures of people, and you forget that those people are people like you. They have flaws and insecurities. That’s so easy to forget, even for me, as somebody who’s sometimes in those magazines.
DAKOTA FANNINGPeople 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.
DAKOTA FANNINGPeople are lonely in this world for lots of different reasons. The one thing that I do know is, it doesn’t matter what any one of them tell you — nobody wants to be alone.
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 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 FANNINGI’m very proud to be a woman – you’re part of a tribe. Automatically, you feel connected to another woman when you meet them. That’s really special.

DAKOTA FANNINGWhen you loose something or someone that your really care about, that’s all there is. The world may be blowing up around you, but you don’t care about that. You don’t care about that at all.
DAKOTA FANNINGI’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.
DAKOTA FANNINGMy friends are the friends I’ve had forever, that’s kept me very sane.
