We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.

I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.

There was nothing more important I could do than be supportive as a dad.

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

My dad was a master butcher and I trained to be a butcher when I left school. I didn't enjoy it at the time but I love cooking now, so perhaps I would have been a chef.

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

I absolutely love working with my dad because there is such an ease about it, and I also love his company.

I've got an idea for a modern day faerie tale that I think would made a great short novel. But I just don't have the time to work on it right now. I'm way too busy with the 'Kingkiller Chronicles' and being a new dad.

If you met my dad, I think a lot of things would be put to rest. Because my pops is a pretty silly guy. But, Coldcut, they're based in the U.K. I'm a big fan of jazz music, so American music has had a big influence on what I listen to.

When I realized I was having trouble reading, I was too embarrassed to ask for help. Some teachers believed in me, but I just wasn't focused on school - I was into the music and trying to please my dad.
