"Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters"
About this Quote
Then she pivots to Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, two avatars of early-2000s star power: approachable, glossy, bankable. “I would like to meet” reads like polite admiration, but it also echoes an industry reality: meeting is the prelude to being seen, and being seen is how opportunities become inevitable.
The kicker is the final sentence: “I think I could play their daughters.” On the surface it’s cute, kid logic. Underneath, it’s a miniature manifesto about ambition and belonging. Fanning isn’t asking to be adopted into their world; she’s proposing a role within it, positioning herself as the next-generation extension of their brand. It’s also slyly comedic because it collapses the distance between celebrity and narrative: in Hollywood, relationships are often most legible when they can be storyboarded. The line works because it’s honest, opportunistic, and lightly self-aware - a young performer already negotiating fame as both admiration and strategy.
