“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.'”

“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.”

“Dakota Fanning is my favorite actress.”

“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.”

“I always look at Style.com and look at all the designers and I know all the model's names.”

“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.”

“I don't wear any make-up on normal days and at school. But, if I'm going somewhere, I always do something with my eyes - crazy colors, sparkles. I'm all for it. I love experimenting.”

“I have a sliding glass door on my closet, and when I slide it one way I can see all my uniforms, and the other way is all my own clothes.”

“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 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.”

“I like necklaces that are short, the way skateboarders used to wear them in the seventies.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 was 12 when I did 'Super 8,' and when Dakota was 12, she did 'War of the Worlds.' Steven Spielberg was involved with both movies, so we both worked with Steven when we were 12.”

“I wore the Marc Jacobs dress, so I love Marc Jacobs. He has a vintage flair. But I've always worn a lot of vintage stuff, so it hasn't been a lot of designers. If I see something that I like, I just buy it.”

“I would like to continue acting. But also - if this is a dream world where everything could become true - I'd want to be a ballerina.”

“I'd much rather dress like a 5 year old than a 21 year old. I'd much rather wear a puffy sleeved shirt than some low-cut top.”

“I'm a normal kid, really. I just love to act.”

“I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself.”

“My favorite actress is Marilyn Monroe.”

“We take art, and I love all that. But I also like science for some reason. I just like finding out why things happen.”

“What's the best part of a movie? I love to know what my name is. It's just so fun. That's the first thing I ask. It's just fun because you have a different name in every movie.”

“When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.”
