Fancast recently sat down with Dakota for an interview.

Dakota Fanning was just like any other teenage girl, a big fan of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books, which carried over to being a huge fan of the first film. In The Twilight Saga: New Moon, she’s living the dream of Twi-hards everywhere by actually getting the chance to be a part of this world by playing Jane, a scary member of the Volturi, the ruling council of vampires. Fortunately for her, she’s been in the game long enough not to get starstruck.

“Especially going into this movie with a cast that already knew each other really well because they’ve already done a movie together, you’re always kind of like the new kid coming in,” Fanning said. “But they were just so nice and so welcoming, and just a really great cast so it was kind of hard to be star struck even though you’re such big fans of them and excited to meet them, but they’re just so nice and you become friends pretty quick.”
