The Olsen Twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

If your children are fans of the Olsen Twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, you must know how much they have accomplished. At nine months they started on a television sitcom, Full House. Sharing the part of Michelle Tanner, they found a place in each of our hearts. At only five, they filmed their first made for TV movie, To Grandmothers House We Go. Two more would follow after that. They made their first video, named Our First Video, at seven. Soon after a video series was created for them to star in. Soon the Olsens would become a house-hold name. We got a chance to talk with these millionaires themselves:

Q. Do you share more than your looks?
Ashley: (giggling) We have our own rooms. And we never share clothes. I have my own bike and rollerblades, so does Mary-Kate.
Mary-Kate: But we do share some things.

Q. Do you always spend time together?
Mary-Kate: Well, we do our homework together. We have our own friends, and don't always play together(smiling at Ashley). We sometimes take a break from each other.

Q. What do you enjoy to do in free time?
Mary-Kate: I like to see my pony, and play with my friends outside. We have a lot of sleepovers. I also like to just relax and listen to music.
Ashley: I like going to the beach. Also to dance. I might want to be a dancer.

Q. What is school like?
Ashley: We have 4 classes together. Sometimes if one of us is having trouble in a class, we can help each other with it. We both get good grades.

Mary-Kate: We have our own friends at school, and we do homework together. We always have to have our homework done before dinner, or we can't go out and play.

Q. What do you like most about acting?
Ashley: I like meeting people, and also going to new places.
Mary-Kate: We also get to learn new things. It is even fun learning lines!.

Here are a few of there favorite things:
Ashley: I like Sprite and Pepsi. I tried Surge, and that is good.
Mary-Kate: I like Coke and Pepsi.
Ashley: I like to write, so I might be a director.
Mary-Kate: We both like scary movies. But we are not allowed to watch some of them.
Ashley: Sometimes I get to ride Mary-Kate's pony, but I am not very good at it.
Mary-Kate: And sometimes she teaches me ballet, but it is not very fun for me.
Ashley: I loved to film our new video. We got to dance ballet. I had to teach Mary-Kate a few things.
Mary-Kate: I liked to film the Christmas Party, because I liked skiing. It was really fun.
