Ashley Olsen is on the cover of the September 2007 issue of Marie Claire magazine.

In the interview, Ashley talks about fashion (of course!), about her daily life and about her relationship with her twin sister Mary-Kate (she also addresses Mary-Kate’s eating disorder).

On Mary-Kate’s eating disorder:

“That situation was more about how destructive the media can be to a person emotionally, to their identity, their public persona,” Ashley says. “It’s really sick.”

On their twin connection:

“I know when she’s hurting, I know when she’s going through something, I know when she’s happy — whether I”m with her or not, I know. We both carry the weight of each other. When she’s doing really well, maybe I’m not doing so well. It’s weird that we’re never at the same place — we just kind of balance each other out.”

On her daily life:

“I live a very normal life — I have friends; 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,” Ashley tells me over a plate of raw vegetables and hummus and a bowl of popcorn drizzled with truffle oil. “I used to struggle with it more because I used to take things more personally. When I was kind of 16 to 18, I couldn’t get out of the weeklies. When I came to [NYU], it was really tough for the first couple of months because I couldn’t show up to some classes, because there’d be paparazzi outside.” [Source]
