When the reporter mentioned a photo Gwyneth posted of her and Dakota, he said, “I grew up in a very big family and I believe in the saying, ‘Blood is thicker than water,'” he explained.
‘The actual saying is, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” meaning that the connections with the people you choose are stronger than the connections with the people you were actually born with.’
Dakota’s parents are actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. The two separated: Don married Kelley Phleger in 1999 and Melanie married Antonio Banderas in 1996. They divorced in 2015.
Now, Dakota is ready to have children of her own.
‘I’m very open to that. I have come to this place where I truly want to experience everything that life has to offer. And especially being a woman, I think: What a magical thing to do. What a crazy, magical and wild experience. If that has to happen to me, I’m all for it. I’ve been really freaking out lately, like we’re not here for long.
‘There is a lot to eat, learn, grow, experience and feel. That includes all the pain, suffering and feeling of helplessness before the world. Most days I feel like the most useless piece of shit.
‘I’m sitting in this stupid chair, talking about this stupid movie, and there are people in unbearable catastrophes, and what can I do? I have this incredible friction in myself. And then I said: We won’t be here for long, so if I’m meant to be a mother, go for it. ‘
The actress has been dating Coldplay frontman Chris since 2017, but watching him perform on stage never gets old.
‘I love watching him. I could see it every day. I do not know how to explain it. “I feel like, I don’t know… I’m watching my favorite thing do his favorite thing,” she explained.

Dakota’s interview comes after she starred in the new Marvel movie, Madame Web, which bombed at the box office and was criticized.
The actress said she was “not surprised” by the negative reviews the film received.
When asked why she wasn’t surprised, she explained: “It’s very difficult to make movies, and in these big movies that are made (and it’s even starting to happen with the smaller ones, which is what really scares me) the decisions are They do it by committees, and art does not do well when it is done by committees.
‘Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around him. You can’t make art based on numbers and algorithms.

“I have long had the feeling that the public is extremely intelligent and executives have begun to believe that they are not. The public will always be able to detect nonsense. Even if they start making movies with AI, humans are not going to want to see them.”
Dakota said she would probably never film a movie like that again because “it didn’t make sense in that world,” however she called the film a “learning experience.”
“It was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I had never done anything like this before. I’ll probably never do something like that again because I have no point in that world. And I know that now.
“But sometimes in this industry, you sign up for something, and it’s one thing, and then while you’re doing it, it becomes something completely different, and you’re like, Wait, what? But it was a real learning experience and of course ‘It’s not nice to be a part of something that’s broken, but I can’t say I don’t understand it.’
