Personal Quotes
Me and Ashley feel like we're totally different.
"I get extra time to take the test because of my ADD. Everybody's brains works differently and I just need longer for things to register" - Upon taking her SATs
"I like to go to parties where I know everyone. How are you going to have fun with people you don't know?" - On going to Hollywood parties
I am a really bad test taker. I can get straight As in school, but I get nervous on test.
We get along really well, but TV and film aren't reality. We're best friends, but we do have our fights!
We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.
I learned how to play the drums. When we were in preproduction, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.
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.
How can you be organized when you're in Times Square?
Any time that we have time to take off, we love being home.
Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.
I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of those things have anything to do with who I am.
Our relationship is stronger when we don't live together, so we don't live together. We're separate people, and we have separate lives. But we see each other every single day.
I'm a person that has high highs and low lows. A lot of things make me sad. Sometimes it's almost easier to be sad. But you do end up finding a balance and I think that as I get older I am learning what I can do for myself to make me happy.
We have been trying to teach the media that it's 'Mary-Kate' and 'Ashley' Olsen since we were 12 years old. I guess... I guess you just learn to accept it.
Now that I'm older I'm more aware of things that make me feel more complete as a person. I'm trying to concentrate on those things as opposed to things that make me feel empty.

(about Mary-Kate) "She's always there for me when I need her; She's my best friend; she's just my everything."
Some twins feel like they need to compare themselves to each other, but we're not that way. That's because of my parents, though, and having six kids in the family.
