She added, “I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don’t compete with it, in a way. It’s something different. It’s a really interesting thing to watch. I admire it; it’s a different kind of connection.”

Talking to Glamour magazine, she said “I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old. I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that bothered me at a very young age.”
