You two are starting school in the fall in New York and you just filmed this movie there. Are you excited to go back?
ASHLEY OLSEN: We’ve always loved New York City. We kind of grew up there as well as doing a lot of work there. A lot of our friends are there and they are actually at the same school. They are really enjoying themselves. I just think it’s a new experience and it’s a completely different culture than LA. It’s completely different. I love that you can go to a restaurant late at night that doesn’t close at 10. You can go to museums; you can go for a walk in the park. You can do so many different things. I’m excited for that other experience.

Are there projects you’d like to do separately?
MARY-KATE OLSEN: We’ve read scripts and I think right now we are just focusing in on school. You know, obviously, I think we have the same goals in mind. We are not planning on just all of a sudden taking a film and separating. Hopefully one day she can direct me in something, or I will direct her. Or we’ll produce a movie under our company’s name. You know what? Maybe we will do things separately.

ASHLEY OLSEN: You can’t really do twin movies forever.

Have you two played tricks on each other’s boyfriends in the past?
ASHLEY OLSEN: Sometimes I’ll answer the phone and pretend to be her. Sometimes they get tricked.

MARY-KATE OLSEN: We are very different and especially when you know us, there’s no way.

What do you do for fun?
ASHLEY OLSEN: I like to relax by taking a yoga class. That’s also exercise, I guess. When I’m home, I hang out with friends and go to school.

MARY-KATE OLSEN: Any time that we have time to take off, we love being home.
