Dakota Fanning Talks High School, Boys, 'Twilight' (PHOTOS)

Dakota Fanning covers the new Teen Vogue and inside poses for a leggy photo shoot. She also talks about high school, cheer leading, boys and playing Jane the Volturi vampire in 'Twilight: New Moon.' Here are some highlights:

On going to high school (she's a junior at a private school in LA):
"I started there in the ninth grade, and they were pretty receptive to me right away. I really wanted a home base, because I feel like no matter how old people are, they remember homecoming. They remember their senior prom. And I really wanted that."

On her dating experience:
"One boy from my school. I have a small class, so the pool is very limited. Everyone kind of knows everyone."

On costar Kristen Stewart:
"We became really close, like we'd known each other for our whole lives. We talk all the time."

Here's one photo. You can see the rest and read the Teen Vogue interview here.

I recently saw a little magazine blurb about her being elected to the homecoming court at her school. The photo was of Dakota in her cheerleading outfit. How cool that she is able to have a reasonably normal high school experience while also acting in films. I'm glad for her. And she is growing up to be beautiful too.

She's lovely. She's also an amazing actress. How refreshing it would be if acting were to remain what she is best known for! Fingers crossed that she keeps her head on straight as she transitions into adulthood!

She is growing up to be a very beautiful young lady.

I hope her talent grows as her life experience grows.

I wish all the best for her and that she stays classy.

[SuperMoncho]

She is a really cool actress.

Where's the pole?

I don't care how grown-up and lovely she may get, it's gonna be hard to erase the memory of how annoyingly whiny she was in War of the Worlds. "Whose car is this? Whose car is this? Whose car is this?"

hey come on, she didn't write the script nor was she the one who directed her to act in the way that the director wanted in the part. She has been wonderful in very many movies. Recently, we saw her in The Secret Lives of Bees. I recommend it.

She's sublime!

When did that cute little girl turn into a beautiful young lady? Girlfriend is rocking those shoes!

[greglondon]

That's what happens. You blink and they grow up. Damn kids.

[NoSillyName]

She looks like young Goldie Hawn in that headshot.

I use to dislike her as a child actress- like that annoying Snuggles bear. I would have to turn the channel when she came on the screen. But wow, she turned out pretty and pretty smart. I had a change of heart when I saw her in The Secret of Bees. I look forward to watching her act as a young adult.

Nice shoes.

[cocolola]

Why must the media insist upon turning these young girls into vamps. I mean really... The eight inch strappy sandals are a bit much. She's a lovely kid, let her be one. Was this look okay with her folks?

[HHarvey]

I would like to think she wore them for the photo shoot. Do you really think she would be wearing those to school? In her everyday life?

[cocolola]

It's not a matter of her wearing the shoes to school. It's the image that she sending out.

Eat more cheeseburgers!!!!!!!!!

[Topfeeder]

She looks like a young Cybill Shepard to me.

[piul05]

I think she looks like a young Vanessa Paradis.

Im pretty sure they are promoting her Vamp movie here so putting her in a sweet little dress with bows is not going to work. Its supposed to be edgy, the project is edgy. Good job for her mom keeping it tateful. Shes no Disney Montanna lizzie maguire bublegum actress and is probably better off for it. Mary Janes wouldnt match anyway,
