ADD QUOTES
- Mary-Kate: (on not acting anymore) 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.
  Edit Share Hide
- Mary-Kate: (when asked if people tease her and Ashley about their childhood career) I think it's more that they feel sorry for us...because it's kind of bittersweet. I mean, we were like little monkey performers, you know? I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all. It doesn't feel like me. It feels like a role that I played. I would never wish my upbringing upon anyone...but I wouldn't take it back for the world.
  Edit Share Hide
- Mary-Kate: (in 2010 about her and her twin sister) We're like two little young old women who have been through a lot. We're turning 24 on Sunday, and I said to Ash, "Can you believe we're turning 48?" We've been working since we were nine months old. That's the way we feel.
