Dakota Fanning's Dreams

Actress Dakota Fanning never ceases to amaze me. Thoughtful, well-spoken, kind and mature beyond her 12 years, she has a list of wonderful accomplishments under her belt already, and she's not even a teenager yet!

Speaking to Time magazine, Dakota has her sites set on something even bigger.

"I would love to direct someday. I've learned a lot from watching directors I've worked with, like Steven Spielberg and Gary Winick, whom I worked with on Charlotte's Web. I would love to have that relationship with another actor."

Her newest movie, "Charlotte's Web," comes out this month, and an independent movie, Hound Dog, will be screened at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January.

She has also appeared in Man on Fire, War of the Worlds and is perhaps best known for her turn in I Am Sam with Sean Penn.
