As a former child star, Dakota Fanning has had her fair share of memorable fan encounters.

But one moment in particular has stayed with the actress. "When I was young, somebody asked me to sign their chest or stomach," she tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "My mom was like, 'Oh, how about just a piece of paper?' "

Fanning, 30, who is now starring in the new horror film The Watchers, spoke to the magazine for One Last Thing:

Last dream I remember
I’ve had that dream where your teeth are falling out. And I was going through a little bit of an anxious time, but it hasn’t happened since, so I think I’m okay.

Last moment of self-care
Every night I take a bath unless I’m washing my hair. That’s my only travel requirement: a bathtub. It can be a weird, gross one; I don’t care. I feel unsettled if I don’t take one.

Last time I stayed up too late
My 30th birthday. I definitely stayed up pretty late. My party was over at 2 a.m., but I came home and ordered Taco Bell.

Last thing I took from a set
I always take the chair back with the name of the movie and your name or the character name. I have them from every one I’ve ever done. I have the whole chair from I Am Sam. It’s in a guest bedroom.

The Watchers is in theaters now.
