Mary-Kate Olsen

I run around my house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny.

I'm definitely bicoastal, but I have to say, it's easier to live in New York than in L.A. I feel like people respect other people's space a bit more here. Everyone has the right to that freedom, right? Everyone has that right. It's freezing in New York right now. In L.A., it's sunny. But I would choose freezing over being followed.

I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great... but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day.

I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all. I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world.

When I was younger, on weekends, my mom would make us pancakes with our initials on them and then a tiny cup of coffee. I remember at 10 sneaking my own coffee and pouring a ton of sugar in and going up to the playroom and drinking it.

I love to learn; I really do. We'd study something in class, and I'd take it outside of class and become, like, obsessive and just research everything.

I never went shopping. That wasn't my thing. I grew up horseback riding. That was my passion. I didn't start shopping until about 16 or 17, when I could drive myself to stores and explore on my own.

When I was young, clothes were really just about what fit, because Ashley and I were so tiny. So I understood fit before I understood style.

I made the decision to take acting seriously after high school.

When I was in my freshman year at college I took some acting classes and found that I fell in love with it again.

I like change. I've never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I'm going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need.

I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of those things have anything to do with who I am.

I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.

We were never thrown into the situation in the middle of our lives, but grew up doing it. This is all we know, and some people who were thrown into it don't really know what to do or how to react and this is just kind of natural for us.

If they're going to write a story they're going to write the story whether it's true or not.

I love to play games. I really like football, and I also like to ride horses.

Just as we have had great working lives, we have also had good personal lives. For instance, we have made school our number one priority. We have been in school our entire lives with kids our own age. We guess that's pretty regular.

We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.
