When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn't be playing football.

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

I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I'll have a window with a view.

My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'

Dad said that he was prouder of me than he'd ever been when I came out.

My dad used to have an expression - 'It is the lucky person who gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.'
