Dakota Fanning is on the cover of InStyle Magazine‘s December 2012 issue!

Below are some excerpts from interview:

On Kristen & Rupert’s affair: “Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicise the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It’s like, ‘Why do you think you are the authority to judge people’s experiences?’”

On not letting fame go to her head: “Why have I been able to stay sane in a sometimes insane world? The pure love of what I do. Making movies.”

On her Hounddog rape scene: “I’ve always been drawn to material that’s more kind of heavy, you know? Whether it be dark or dramatic or sometimes disturbing. And that can be hard to do when people think you’re still a kid.”

On only having had 1 boyfriend, and being single right now: “You know, I’m not the kind of girl or person who really wants boyfriends in my life. I’m also the kind ofperson… I’m very black and white in what I feel and I don’t wanna be with someone that I don’t foresee spending a long time with.”
