I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The truth is that the actresses who I look up to are either my age or a few years older or a lot older.
From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
Since first starting my career, I've grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I'm always the youngest.
As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
I'm a huge movie buff, so I'm a fan of a lot of actors and actresses.
Dakota Fanning is my favorite actress.
I love a lot of these older actresses, like Cicely Tyson, who played Kunta Kinte's mother in 'Roots.' She was really great, and I like seeing her because every movie she plays, she plays a strong character. As a kid, she was really inspiring to me.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
I am not interested in being a Barbie doll and turning myself into a sausage for the next 20 years. I want to follow actresses like Helen Mirren and Judi Dench who have lines on their faces and aren't afraid of playing their age.
