Fanning: "I'm a normal kid, really. I just love to act."

Fanning: "I don't think you should try to be anything you're not. If you're not smiling all the time or always happy - I don't think it matters. If you're having bad day, show you're having a bad day. Don't try to put up something that's fake."

Fanning: "I sort of make believe. That's why I like acting. You can create or imagine anything."

Fanning: "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."

Fanning: "I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself."

Fanning: "I love fashion! I love clothes! I really like vintage clothes, so in my closet there's a lot of '50s stuff. I go to the stores and shop around."

Fanning: "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."

Fanning: "For a long time, I refused to wear jeans. I liked high-waisted pants, but jeans made me feel like I wasn't being unique. Even now, I won't wear the skinny-jeans style, because most people wear those - they have to be baggier, boyfriend-looking, or sort of like a mom jean. I'm real funny that way."

Fanning: "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."

Fanning: "I do after-school ballet and also hip-hop and jazz."

Fanning: "I'll always have acting. But then if I had to choose something else it'd probably be singing or dancing - if I had to. Or maybe, like, designer, like sketching designs."
