I don't really date. I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college. I've always thought that's what it's supposed to be like, and if it's not, then I don't want to waste my time on it. Even when I was 14, I was like, 'I'm not gonna marry this person. What's the point of doing it?' It's not me being naive. I just know what it's supposed to be like, and I think until I feel that, I cannot be bothered.
Dakota FanningI think that when youโre in the public eye, you automatically become a role model, because people are reading about you and looking at pictures of stuff youโve done. But, you know, no oneโs perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I have made mistakes and I will make mistakes. Iโm only human.

Dakota FanningI 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 FanningMy grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.
