bit choose definitely easier freedom freezing people respect york
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.
people
We were always surrounded by people who knew us very well and cared about us.
amazing golden great kate listening natural people speech voice watch
Some people are natural beauties, some have great style, but sometimes it comes from talent. Take Kate Winslet: I was listening to her speech at the Golden Globes. That woman has so much intensity. She's amazing to watch and to listen to. With some people, it can even be their voice that makes them attractive.
grew natural people thrown
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.
college goal people
We kinda look at this as the second or third chapter of our lives. After college, most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. But we already know what we want to do in the future and that is to continue to further our business goals.
thinking asking-for-help people
I think the hardest part to get to is that point of asking for help or reaching out to other people and being honest with yourself.
movies shop
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.
asking came challenged enjoyed given sort understand
I was never challenged when it came to acting as a youngster. I sort of just did whatever was given to me without asking questions. I didn't really understand why I enjoyed it or why I did it.
great
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.
drive explore grew horseback stores until
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.
bag bags bigger carry huge looks space throw woman
I feel like when I carry a bigger bag, it looks like it's a huge bag because I'm really tiny. But I do think it's important to have the space that you need, because we throw everything in our bags at all times. I think every woman does.
We've read scripts, and I think right now we are just focusing in on school.
business
We will probably always be in business together.
fit understood
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.
