DAKOTA Fanning says she took a role in New Moon because it sounded like fun and she was desperate to be a part of it.
The actress — who plays Jane in the Twilight sequel — admits she was keen to star in such a popular movie franchise.
“I read all four Twilight books in one week,” she told Teen Vogue. “It’s such a phenomenon, and I wanted to be able to say that I was a part of it.”
Asked how she prepared for the role, Fanning said, “I wasn’t in my mirror like Zoolander, doing the Blue Steel!
“The red contacts were enough.”
Fanning, 15, says she has no intentions of quitting Hollywood.
“I’m going to get older,” she said. “And I want to act for the rest of my life — it’s what I love — so I have to move forward with my career. The choices that I make might not always please everyone, but I have to do what I feel is appropriate and right for the time.”
“I get my rebellion out through my movies,” Fanning added. “I’m boring in that way. I enjoy having a normal life.”
Dakota says that despite her celebrity, the kids at her private school in Los Angeles have never treated her differently to anyone else.
“I started there in the ninth grade, and they were pretty receptive to me right away, ” she said. “I really wanted a home base, because I feel like no matter how old people are, they remember homecoming. They remember their senior prom. And I really wanted that.”
