In an article by the Guardian UK, Dakota Fanning is credited as part of a new breed of young actors who are sensible and have their heads on their shoulders despite the dog-eat-dog world of Hollywood. Dakota, at a young age, has already worked with the best of best of Hollywood and is credited as one of the finest actresses of her generation. Yet despite her fame, Dakota remains as humble as her talent.
Fanning has been dubbed The Million Dollar Baby, and her co-stars already number Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and Robert De Niro. Having grown up in such an adult world, this religious girl feels no peer pressure to drink at parties or otherwise misbehave: “That’s not something I think about right now and hopefully will never have to experience. I know what’s right for me, and I stay on my path.”
Priding herself on good behaviour, she adds: “I don’t think I’m a brat although I realise that most people think that kids in the business are brats. But you don’t have to be a brat to be an actress. I just enjoy it so much that there’s no time to do anything like that. And why would I want to, when I’m enjoying myself? My family and friends keep me grounded. I’m a Southern Baptist, and I grew up in the south, so every Sunday I went to Sunday school and I’ve grown up in a family where that’s really important,” says the actress.
Kristen Stewart is also included in this list. Kristen is already considered as a veteran at her age of 19, having acted in many movies, even though most of them are indies.
While talking with Kristen Stewart on the set of New Moon last month in Vancouver, she sighed at my suggestion that she might have anything in common with Bella, her tormented screen alter ego: “You wouldn’t believe how boring I am in real life. I don’t have any of the issues that Bella has. If I wake up in a bad mood, I’ll go running or do some kind of physical exertion. If you completely exert yourself, you can, like, clear your mind. I don’t focus on success and I’m not an impulsive person,” she says. “My biggest splurge to date is buying my own home – complete with a studio where my mom can paint.”

Reuters had a very quick intervie with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, where she answers questions regarding the success of Twilight.
Q: Your previous films centered on vampires, skateboarders, biblical figures and students. The common denominator is the main characters are all teenagers. Why is that?
A: “It’s definitely a time in everybody’s life that’s extremely memorable, painful and exiting. It’s one of our most dramatic times where we suddenly grow breasts or hair on our chest. We are able to kiss a boy or a girl and drive a car, drink and figure out who we are as a person and where we fit in the world. Great dramatic material happens in a coming of age story and there are so many possibilities. Plus teenagers are also the people who will actually get up off their couches and go to a movie theater.”
Q: You obviously have a knack for dealing with teens.
A: “I respect all the teenagers I work with and feel that everything they have to say is just as valuable as anything I have to say. My first movie was written with a 13-year-old girl (Nikki Reed on “Thirteen”). It was about her life so she knew more about that than I did. We can learn from everybody.”
Q: You must become like a surrogate mother to them, no?
A: “Well Nikki is kind of like my fake adopted daughter and so is Sarah Blakely-Cartwright, who is in all my movies in smaller parts. When they were teenagers, they’d hang out with me, we’d do slumber parties and surf camps. One of my nephews lives with me in one of my back (apartment) units right now and my nieces lived there too. I always say, “Whoever needs a place can come stay with me.’ I like the open door policy.
Q: Are you like a big kid yourself?
A: “I hope I haven’t grown up. The cliche for all artists is that you don’t want to lose that child inside. I think when you get sedentary and set in your ways you can lose a lot of that spontaneity and creativity. I hope I’m holding on to that. I live in (Los Angeles beachside community) Venice, I surf on the weekends, I ride my bike and try to be in an active world where people around me are of all ages and all economic levels.”
Q: “Twilight” cost $37 million and made nearly $382 million worldwide. Do you feel pressure to top yourself?
A: “I don’t think that’s possible, and I don’t think that’s a healthy way to think. “Twilight” was a phenomenon — the stars just aligned on that film. Thank God (director) Ridley Scott didn’t stop after “Blade Runner.” He made “Thelma and Louise” and “Gladiator” and a million other interesting movies. I still want to make other good films that won’t lose money.”
Q: Do you have a process you go by when it comes to developing projects?
A: “I’ll literally pay three Hollywood readers who don’t know me to read my scripts under the radar and give cold comments. And at the early screenings of my movies, I’ll hand out questionnaires that can be filled out anonymously so people can be brutally honest because to your face they won’t be. I’ll take the papers home, read them by myself, cry and go ‘My God, that was the coolest scene and everybody hates it!’ But that’s fine because my goal is to always make it better.”
Q: How have things changed for you since “Twilight”?
A: “Right now I can say in a meeting: ‘Well on ‘Twilight’ this is how we did it and this is how we made it work.’ And people go, ‘Oh wow, that movie made money.’ They listen to me a little bit more than before.”

According to Ted Casablanca at E!, Breaking Dawn will stay true to its roots instead of being watered down for the big screen.
Breaking Dawn features scenes that are quite violent and overtly sexual, and it was feared that the script would gloss over important elements that may not be appropriate for a younger audience.
Ted cites producers that say it will be “very, very sexual, …almost too hot for Twilight’s fanbase”.
Skip ahead to 2:35 in the video to catch the part about Breaking Dawn.
What do you guys think? Is there any truth to what Ted is saying? I sure hope there is some truth to it.

At the press conference for the new Harry Potter movie, the cast of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright and Tom Felton) were asked about Twilight and Robert Pattinson.
Tom and Daniel both replied saying they hadn’t seen Twilight yet and Tom promised he would see it soon. Daniel was quoted as saying that Twilight is the only other franchise that equals the fandom that Harry Potter has and that it is interesting to see the craziness from a different point of view.
Watch the video above to hear what else the cast had to say about Rob and Twilight.
