Mary-Kate Olsen: fashion, rumors, Interview

In case you’re missing the Olsen twins.

The younger twin Mary-Kate Olsen, 22, sat down to talk to Interview http://www.interviewmagazine.com/fashion/mary-kate-olsen/ magazine about her life, rumors, and her plans in acting and fashion designing.

She’s changed her style, got rid of ugly dark hair roots and looks like Lady GaGa now.

Mary-Kate is more in the spotlight, don’t you think? It’s been ages since I heard anything about Ashley.

Mary-Kate on how she developed her style:

For me, it really started by looking at people. There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you’re walking down the street, or you’re at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they’re wearing – into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves. With some people, it can even be their voice that makes them attractive.

On shopping as a teen:

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.

On the first time she could choose clothes to wear:

For the premiere [of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, 2003] I chose to wear this Zandra Rhodes dress and I put a diamond butterfly brooch in my hair. You know, that’s still one of my top favorite looks. But I think that started at an age when it was okay for Ashley and me to look different.

On her sis:

We’ve always been very different. And we’ve always had the same goals. When we decided to go to college, we figured we’d be able to take a break and just figure out what we wanted to do and what we loved . . .

On what her movies taught her:

We filmed each one in something like two weeks, never more than three. We had to be prepped. It taught me a lot of discipline . . . It taught me to be present, because when you’re rushing to get a movie done you can’t spend all day on one scene. We’d go over the lines to memorize them, and we’d get a point whenever we got them right.

On gossip:

I definitely don’t take any of it personally. You learn how to have a sense of humor pretty quickly. I honestly don’t keep up on it unless it’s something that would hurt someone else. I can take care of myself, that’s not the problem.

On changes:

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. But I’ve been in the same place for a while now, since last year, so that’s a start. I kind of settled there and I’m happy for right now.
