Dakota Fanning: Career could end tomorrow

Dakota Fanning (16) wants to be an actress forever — but admits her career could “end tomorrow”. The star — who shot to fame at the age 7 — realizes Hollywood can be fickle.

“I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life but I think that everything can end tomorrow,” she said.

“You have to live your life for the moment and not take it for granted. I don’t think you ever feel completely secure.

“I’d love to work with Jodie Foster. I really admire her, her career and what she’s done. I can only hope to be just a little bit of how great she is.

“I feel so lucky to have had some of the opportunities that I’ve had. I know some people aren’t that lucky, to be at the right place at the right time or do the right movie.”

Fanning recently admitted she doesn’t know how to do “anything else” other than act.

“I’ve realized that I don’t know how to do anything else,” she said.

“Acting is the only thing I feel most myself.”
