Elle Fanning

“I like necklaces that are short, the way skateboarders used to wear them in the seventies.”

“What's the best part of a movie? I love to know what my name is. It's just so fun. That's the first thing I ask. It's just fun because you have a different name in every movie.”

“Dakota Fanning is my favorite actress.”

“I mean, it's amazing that I get to meet all these people. I've learned so much from all of them. I just worked with Sofia Coppola and that was amazing. I learned so much from her. I can't even describe how much fun I had.”

“I'm a big fish eater. Salmon - I love salmon. My sister loves Chinese food and sushi and all that. I'm not as big of a fan, but she likes it so we eat it a lot. So I'm beginning to like it more. I don't like the raw sushi. I liked the cooked crab and lobster and everything.”

“I remember the first time Dakota asked me for fashion advice about what to put with what. I was like, 'My big sister is asking me?'”

“But it's cool working with female directors because I'm a girl, so you do relate to them more. You can talk to them about other stuff like clothes and all that.”

“I make movies the same way other kids play tennis or go to piano lessons. I'm trying to get better at what I want to do, just like other kids are trying to get better at what they want to do.”

“I don't wear any make-up on normal days and at school. But, if I'm going somewhere, I always do something with my eyes - crazy colors, sparkles. I'm all for it. I love experimenting.”

“I'm a normal kid, really. I just love to act.”

“I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself.”

“I like playing characters with as many emotions as possible. I'd love to play a really crazy person - someone truly out of her mind.”

“I love the '70s, I'm very into that right now. The long Chloe dresses, very Virgin Suicides.”

“I like Jodie Foster and then Meryl Streep. They're just, like, the greatest ever.”

“We take art, and I love all that. But I also like science for some reason. I just like finding out why things happen.”

“I would like to continue acting. But also - if this is a dream world where everything could become true - I'd want to be a ballerina.”

“I'd much rather dress like a 5 year old than a 21 year old. I'd much rather wear a puffy sleeved shirt than some low-cut top.”

“I can't really remember my life without movies.”

“I like mixing things. I wear a lot of boots. Love boots. And then jeans, but I like to wear them with a really ruffly top. Or I love high-waisted anything.”

“I've been on 'Criminal Minds' twice! On the first show, a boy brought kids out to the woods and was beating them with a baseball bat, but I got away. Then they brought Tracy, my character, back - as a kidnapped girl. They saved me two times! Tracy lived!”
