Frances Bean Interviewed In Harper's Bazaar

The 15 year old's sounding like she has a good head on her shoulders, saying the right stuff about her fame ("These people are fascinated by me, but I haven't done anything ... If you're a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I'm not my parents ... People need to wait until I've done something valid with my life") and even offering props to her paternal Grandma ("she's probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world"). Now that's the teen spirit. As far as a future career, though, the magazine reports that "she's thought about photography and/or journalism (there may be a summer internship at Rolling Stone)." Summer internship at Rolling Stone?! Corporate magazines still suck, Franny.
