Quotes by Elle Fanning

Elle Fanning

Acting is different from dance. The black-and-whiteness of dancing is mostly about the technical form – like, this is how people have been doing it for millions of years. You can’t let down those ballerinas who died a long time ago. My teacher will say, “This person would be ashamed!” And it’s like, oh God. But with acting, it’s different because people like something fresh. You can mix it up and create your own thing and it’s not necessarily wrong.

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.

As my sister got older, I saw how excited she got when she got to do all of that stuff. I was always like, “One day, I’ll get to do older parts.” I thought that was cool.

Beauty is a complex theme, for sure. We all have a different concept and opinion regarding it, but we all like to look at things that are aesthetically pleasing. I had the typical high school experience, where you question what is beauty, and you’re comparing yourself to others, it was just part of growing up.

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.

Everyone in my grade is turning 13, so there are bunches of bar and bat mitzvahs. They’re very dressy. It’s fun picking out outfits. One girl, for her bat mitzvah, wore a huge red ball gown!

Everyone should love themselves, should think that they’re beautiful.

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.

For my own style, I love vintage. 60’s and 70’s are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that – maybe I’ll wear it with boots. At my school we wear a uniform, but we have one day a week we can wear whatever we want.
