Elle Fanning Dishes on Working With Angelina Jolie and Her Directorial Hopes For the Future
Elle Fanning has quite a few accomplishments under her belt, and she's showing no signs of slowing down.

While Elle talked about her evolving relationship with Angelina, she also shared some helpful advice from Nicole. And it sounds like she's taking it to heart as she continues to develop a career in acting and, hopefully, directing. Look ahead to read some of the standout quotes from Elle's cover story!
