ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she`s more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything`s perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It`s sad. I`m a little like Ray, a little bit.

No not really, it is just like real life. Not everyday you are happy and not everyday you are sad.

It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and they made everybody really happy on the set too.

That was really cool. I got to kiss a little boy. I was 7 and he was 10, and his name is Thomas Curtis. He was the first boy I`ve ever kissed in my entire life and he was three years older than me.

I`ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.

My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.

It`s just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place, Vancouver, and I had a great time.

I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.

My mom, she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she`s always with me on everything. The most I`ve ever been away from her is two days. I love her more than anybody could ever know.

I`m home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.

I feel so blessed to have been able to be in War of the Worlds.

The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But you have the parties that you go to and you get to see them, like the premieres and the screenings.

One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you`d never do in real life.

Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn`t trade it for the world. I don`t think of it as work. It`s really fun for me. And home-schooling works out perfectly.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.

I`ve been a ballerina since I was two, but I`ve always wanted to be an actress.

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it`s all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

[Talking about Hounddog]: It was a script that I loved and it`s, you know, ultimately my decision because I`m playing the character, but of course my mom and my agent read everything, but it was no different then anything else.

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.

To work with Robert De Niro was like a dream come true. He` s such a nice person to be around, and I learned something from him everyday.

In the happy scenes there were really fun times. Sean would say really funny stuff because he likes to improv. I would want to laugh, but you are not allowed to do that during the take.

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

It`s fun to know what I want to do - you know, when I grow up. I have friends who say, `Oh, maybe I`ll be an astronaut or whatever.` But it`s cool to want to do this forever. I knew from my first commercial that I wanted to be an actress.

I have no problem shooting emotional scenes.

My dad named me Dakota and my mom came up with my first name Hannah. So it`s Hannah Dakota Fanning.

When I go on a movie set, I`m learning about movies. I learned 100 lessons a day from Steven [Spielberg]. I always think I might not have this opportunity again, so I try to cram a lot of information into my brain.

I learned that it can be very hurtful to talk about others. You know, I read a quote by Oprah Winfrey where she said, "Turn your wounds into wisdom". It`s not nice to spread rumors.

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

I want to keep acting. I want to go to college, sure, but I really want to keep acting right now. It`s so fun.

I`ve been very lucky enough to do all kinds of movies. All the movies that I`ve done have been very different and all the characters I`ve done have been very different. I feel very lucky to have been able to do the movies that I`ve done.

I think Orlando Bloom is cute. I met him at an awards show. I was actually nominated and I won that one. When I went up on stage, they didn`t have a step for me to step on at the Critics` Choice Awards so he had to hold me up. He held me for a LONG, LONG time!

Working with him, I loved every minute of it. I couldn`t wait to see him everyday. He`s one of the best actors in the world and I loved observing him." - on working with Denzel Washington on Man on Fire (2004).
