ASHLEY OLSEN

I'm the most private person.

She's always there for me when I need her; She's my best friend; she's just my everything.

There's so many things that we could do.

I live a very normal life. I have friends, and I've always gone to school. The part that's not normal is that I've been working since I was 9 months old, but at the same time, it's completely normal to me.

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.

I am very down to earth and practical.

I'm the type of person who would rather stay home than get my picture taken.

I check Style.com to look at the collections and love to poke around some of the other fashion blogs to see what's going on.

I love driving, but sometimes, I'm not too good at it because I spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror if I know I'm being followed. You don't respond like, 'Oh, there's paparazzi.' It's more like, 'There's a man, and he's going to attack me.' That's how your body responds.

I don't think of myself as hot or cool or anything, just a dork.

We've stayed really normal and down to Earth I think, and haven't let the success thing go to our head.

We don't really have favorite positions. Its mostly just playing the game that we love.

I don't know if it's because of the way we grew up - we just don't like talking about ourselves or talking about what we're doing... It's not really our approach.

It doesn't mean I'm not interested in Hollywood. I like the way it operates; I like the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever get back in, it's not going to be as an actress.

I don't have to be a pretty face. I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore.

When we were going to NYU, I think that was the first time we were aware of the power of our personal style. Not the power of it, but the result of it.

Our core business are those pieces that you really want to have accessible to you but you don't really want to worry about, like a great white button-down.

I think you're either born with a sense of style, or you're not.

I think The Row skews toward an older market - an educated consumer who's been shopping for years.

The main thing we thought was lacking in the luxury market were basic pieces that could break up an outfit so you didn't feel like you were totally dressed in one designer. You could add some ease and comfort, tone it down.

Mary-Kate and I are very aware of trends and style, but at the end of the day, we don't even think twice about it. It's just, 'What do I feel like wearing today, and how do I want to put it together?'

It was almost like I was in the army: school, work, homework, fly to New York, get in at 2 in the morning, do a morning show at 5 A.M., then another one at 7, then a radio interview at 10, you know?

It's been 32 years of learning to communicate. We have had ups and downs.

We love curating; we love discovering new products and vintage pieces.

I think my sister and I just focus on working hard. We started off working with Wal-Mart on our first clothing line as an extension of our personal brand when we were 12, and we got to learn about being aware of what was in the market and what wasn't.
