Published on January 3, 2012 by Sincerely Smith · No Comments

The all-grown-up american actress Dakota Fanning is featured on the February 2012 cover of the British Elle UK. The actress represents young Hollywood well during this photoshoot by photographer David Slijper. The sleeping-beautyesque Fanning donned an amazing Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 dress and a Prada ensemble for the different front-page editions of the magazine.

Inside you can find the starlet giving details about the importance of staying true to herself while still maintaining her acting career–not something you typically hear from actors her age.

Here are some of the other highlights:

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.”
