We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.

I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.

There was nothing more important I could do than be supportive as a dad.

My dad named me Dakota and my mom came up with my first name Hannah. So it's Hannah Dakota Fanning.

My dad was a master butcher and I trained to be a butcher when I left school. I didn't enjoy it at the time but I love cooking now, so perhaps I would have been a chef.
