Dakota Fanning is growing up to be quite the young adult!
In the new February issue of ELLE UK, the 17-year-old discusses her desire to remain true to herself and her craft, something many celebrities her age cannot do.
STORY: Dakota Fanning at Terry Richardson’s Studio!
Fanning posed for photographer David Slijper in a gorgeous Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 dress and a Prada ensemble for the different front-page editions of the magazine.
Here are some of the highlights from Fanning’s interview with the magazine:
On her youthful age of 17-years-old: ”I feel like I’ve lived a long time, but then I realize, ‘Oh, I’m actually only 17.’ I don’t think there should be an age limit on an interest, do you know what I mean?”
On not wanting attention outside of her acting: ”I just want to be an actress. I don’t really do anything attention-grabbing. Famous just sounds so pretentious. Who am I to call myself that word?”
On not letting talk about her physical appearance affect her: ”People are always talking about this person who looks great and that person who doesn’t. It’s there, if you let it in. I let it in to an extent. I just don’t let it affect the choices I make.”
On her younger sister Elle: ”She is incredibly free-spirited and totally wears her heart on her sleeve, you know exactly what she is thinking by taking one look at her. She’s just incredibly… I don’t know, I wish I could be more like her sometimes.”
On not comparing herself with her sister: ”We see ourselves as to completely different entities. I mean, we don’t even look alike.”
