Dakota Fanning mature

Pretty Dakota Fanning turned 16 last month, but says that she wants to play more mature roles. "I'm going to get older," she told Teen Vogue. "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."

The film has some scenes involving drug use and lesbian kissing, but Fanning says "I really enjoyed doing that subject matter for the first time in a biopic, because it really happened--it's not just a made-up story about a 15-year-old kid running wild. It's a true story of her evolution from good Valley Girl to bad rock-and-roll princess."

Dakota and Kristen became friends while acting together in Twilight: New Moon. "Dakota is an astounding human being, incredibly intimidating, and one of the smartest people I've ever met," Stewart says. "She's become one of my best friends. We're so comfortable together that we have a second language."

I love proper outfits with vintage hats, necklaces, or boots." Right, active girl Dakota Fanning emerges from a Yoga class. The skinny actress is 5'3.5" tall but she's not fully mature yet and may grow taller.

On whether she feels the pressure to be a role model for girls, Fanning told V Magazine, "I think that when you're in the public eye, you automatically become a role model, because people are reading about you and looking at pictures of stuff you've done. So I definitely think you have to make good choices. But, you know, no one's perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I have made mistakes and I will make mistakes. I'm only human."
