Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters.
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.
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.
I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.
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.
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.
I'm home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.
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.
I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.
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.
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.
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.
My dad named me Dakota and my mom came up with my first name Hannah. So it's Hannah Dakota Fanning.
My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.
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.
No not really, it is just like real life. Not everyday you are happy and not everyday you are sad.
One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you'd never do in real life.
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.
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.
To work with Robert De Niro was like a dream come true. He' s such a nice person to be around, and I learned something from him everyday.
We became a vegetarian. But that didn't last very long, because, um, I don't like vegetables. Or salad, nothing like that!
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.
