On her favorite food:Brussels sprouts – “I am obsessed with them.”Past Sundance favorite films:“I loved An Education, or even Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary. Those were movies that helped give an actor leeway into the world.”On her upbringing:“I did lead a very charmed life growing up, but I was aware of the things that were abnormal. The only time I flew first class as a kid was when my sisters did these cruises called ‘Sail With the Stars.’ They were the main event . . . other than that, never.”
Elizabeth Olsen For AsosOn her famous last name:“A lot of casting directors didn’t make the connection at first. I loved it when that would happen, because there was no baggage of any kind, whether it was good or bad . . . I’ve always wanted to feel like everything I did, I worked hard for, because I had a complex about it.”On Martha Marcy May Marlene:“Every script (I was sent) was ‘funny ironic’ because the girls were sluts or bitches . . . I don’t know how to act that. I have a really hard time playing those parts. [Martha] felt like doing real work, and that’s why I liked it . . . it was the best experience I’ve ever had working . . . no bull*****ing.”
Most surreal career moment so far:Meeting her idol Woody Allen. “I have a vintage Annie Hall movie poster than an ex-boyfriend bought me in high school, the only movie poster I own.”On her famous family:“Mary-Kate and Ashley have celebrated my birthday with me every year since I’ve been in New York, my last four birthdays, and it’s been so special. Or when you have a fight with a boyfriend or a friend, or whatever, they’re here.”On being the Elizabeth in her sisters’ clothing line Elizabeth and James:“In my mind, that was, ‘Oh cool, that means I get free clothes!’ For two years, I didn’t buy anything. But even as a little kid . . . I had all their hand-me-downs."On her style:Inspired by Celine, Chanel, Isabel Marant, and Marni – “I thought it was masculine and quirky and funky.”‹
