I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.

More quotes by Dakota Fanning
My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.

I'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 Fanning
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.
Dakota Fanning
I 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 Fanning
I really enjoy what I'm doing. I think you have to have a good time and not look too far back or too far ahead.
Dakota Fanning
I feel very lucky to have been able to travel and see different parts of the world.
Dakota Fanning
Don't touch your brows. I've never done anything to my eyebrows.
Dakota Fanning
I can only live my life in this way. I don't think I would be living it a different way if I wasn't acting.
Dakota Fanning
Because I'm a pale person, I take care of my skin religiously.

You know in cartoons, the way someone can run off a cliff and they're fine, they don't fall down until they look down? My mom always said that was the secret of life. Never look down. But it's more than that. It's not just about looking. It's about never realizing that you're in the middle of the air and you don't know how to fly.

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.
Dakota Fanning
When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.
Dakota Fanning
It'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 Fanning
My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.
Dakota Fanning
I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.
Dakota Fanning
I don't like to get things during the year, .. I like to wait for my birthday or Christmas. I may see something that I'll say, 'I'd really like that for my birthday.' I like to have things to look forward to.
Dakota Fanning
People 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 Fanning
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.
Dakota Fanning
I think that we have two things going on in the world right now. We have one sort of vibe that's love who you are, be yourself, love your flaws, embrace your body, embrace your inner beauty, all of that. And then we have another very looks-based thing happening at the same time, you know?
Dakota Fanning
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.
