In a new interview with Porter<\/a>, actress Dakota Fanning shared that having children is more important to her than keeping her career, which she began at just age seven.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an actor is a huge part of my identity,” she explained. “I don\u2019t really know who I would be without it. But I also have a desire to set up my life and career so that I always have a choice. Having kids is probably more important to me than anything, even being an actor. If somebody said I had to choose, I would choose having kids. I\u2019m one of those people who has always felt that pull.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now age 30, Fanning didn’t share her plans for marriage or when she would want to begin to build her family, but she did say she’s not there quite yet.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how I’l[l] feel when that time in my life comes \u2014 and how much I’ll want to work. But, because I don’t have that at the moment, I’m trying to take advantage of the adventures now. I’m trying to push myse[l]f to keep saying yes to things that make me uncomfortable, to keep going to places for long periods of time that maybe I’m scared to do because \u2014 God willing \u2014 one day, it won’t be as easy.”<\/p>\n
