Mary-Kate Olsen is the July 2008 cover girl for Elle magazine. Inside the pages Mary-Kate talks about business, fashion and life in general. Here are some highlights:

On profit motives complicating or even causing sibling rivalry: �[My twin sister Ashley and I] don�t agree all the time. The way we go about business or designing or making a decision is that we come at it from two completely different angles that at the end of the day, even when we don�t think we�re agreeing with each other, we are agreeing. We�re just getting there in different ways. Unless you�re a twin, you honestly can�t know how close twins can be. There�s such a strength� It stems from love, and it stems from passion. We�re driven people. I do know I can�t work in an office. Ashley, on the other hand, loves going to an office.�

On describing her casual attitude toward fashion: �I don�t know�you�re either on the worst-dressed list or you�ve started a fashion trend. I think there�s a real disconnect between the media�s perception of fashion and the fashion world�s idea of fashion. I don�t know why I wear some of the things I wear. I like wearing crazy things sometimes. I like being playful. Sometimes I feel like I�m playing dress-up and becoming a character. It�s sort of like an art. It can change your mood or the way that people are attracted to you.�

On feeling sexy: �The affirmations you get as a child star are so different from the ones I presume one seeks as a woman. I feel like I can be sexy when I want to be. I think all women are sexy. Some may feel it more than others. I personally think the women who are the most sexy are the women who are truly themselves, whatever that may be.�
