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.
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.
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.
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.
physically roles
We did many of our own stunts. We had our hands full. In fact, the roles were physically demanding.
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.
age entire good great guess kids lives number personal school
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.
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.
cup drinking initials mom pancakes pouring sugar tiny ton
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.
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.
funny heels house naked run time
I run around my house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny.
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.
