Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite.
Everything family does is reflection on the other people.
When you come from a big family, you see that, growing up, you're learning how to share. Your sisters have got your back; you're not alone in this - 'We all support you!' Your family provides that; it gives you a sense of safety, and it's a very grounding feeling.
I have always had tremendous respect for my sister as an artist, as a woman, and now as a mother.
We're going to be treated very poorly, I think that goes with the territory, and you have to get over it, get beyond it and know who you are among your peers and especially among your family when you look in the mirror.
Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.
You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.
The irony is that the more specific you are in the portrayal of character, the more like other people you are. In the same way, the more you think about how alone you are in this life, you realise how much a brother and sister everyone else is.
In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.
I think my characters are more wish fulfillments than they are mirrors. They see things I don't and live in a world I can only enter through words.
