After 'Somewhere' came out, people started to recognize me more. Whenever I was walking down the street, they'd be like, 'Oh, wow - are you Elle Fanning?' Before 'Somewhere,' they asked me if I was Dakota Fanning, because we looked alike, and I'd say, 'No, I'm her younger sister.'

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?'

My favorite actress is Marilyn Monroe.

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 would love to work with my sister in a movie one day – like play sisters or something like that, because we’ve never been on-screen at the same time together.

I’m a normal kid, really. I just love to act.

I used to play sports in school, but it was hard to do that because you’re part of a team and you don’t want to let your team down.

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

We’re constantly taking pictures of ourselves. It’s a bit scary, because images are essentially dead, so we judge beauty on something that isn’t alive.

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.
