There Is More To Me

Elle Fanning recently sat down with The Laterals to promote her new film The Boxtrolls. Highlights from her interview are below.

On whether or not she is competitive with her sister when it comes to movies: “We aren’t really competitive at, not with that or anything. We are very supportive and it’s very funny though because with this, she has her Coraline statue and then now I have my Winnie statue. It’s weird, because we don’t ever talk about movies; it’s something that is just very separate.”

On wanting to go to college: “I would like to go to college, both my parents did, my sister is at NYU, this year I am going to my junior year of high school. This is the year where you take the SAT and all that stuff, so my mum, she’s planning for me to go on a college tour for the East and West Coast, so that’s what we are trying to do. I have to find the place, it’s so important.”

On wanting to act in a film with Dakota: “We would love to. We are always looking and who knows when it will happen. It could be really soon or way later but there’s nothing that we have right now. I think we have our own ideas of what we would want and we haven’t mentioned it to each other lately but who knows, it would be fun not to play sisters in something and something that doesn’t have to do with looking alike but as to do with us being separate and having completely different personalities.”
