Dakota Fanning Covers PORTER Magazine

Dakota Fanning sat down with Porter to promote her new series, Ripley. The actress is joined by Andrew Scott in this new Netflix series based on Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley book series. Highlights from her interview are below.

On how filming on this series felt different than others: “I like being alone and I don’t mind getting acclimated to a place, but I felt really lonely in a specific way. I felt like I was trapped. I’m sure other people can relate… It wasn’t a unique experience, but I definitely went through a rollercoaster on this. I feel very rewarded and satisfied having seen the show; it all feels worth it. It’s so different to anything I’ve ever been in.”

On working with Scott: “I always hoped our paths would cross. He is so wickedly funny, warm and kind. He’s just a good person. And stunning, obviously. I worship him after working with him.”

On giving up her career to have kids: “Being an actor is a huge part of my identity. I don’t really know who I would be without it. But I also have a desire to set up my life and career so that I always have a choice. Having kids is probably more important to me than anything, even being an actor. If somebody said I had to choose, I would choose having kids. I’m one of those people who has always felt that pull.”
