Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.

My parents are very competitive, so we are very competitive as kids. But it's a good kind of competition; it's not a jealousy. You always want to do your best, and if it can't be you, you want it to be your brother or your sister, you know what I mean?

Having lots of siblings is like having built-in best friends.

I grew up with an older brother who was always stronger and faster and better than me at everything, but I was close enough in age to try and compete, so we had a competitive childhood.

Sibling rivalry was, and still is to this day, rampant in my family. We were all competing for my parents' divided attention.

Sibling relationships figure in a lot of my books. You don't often see relationships between adult siblings explored in fiction.

When you have a lot of siblings, you always do something to feel special.

I have two older brothers. I am the baby. We're all very, very close. We're great communicators, so we get along really well.

Sibling relationships are complicated. All family relationships are. Look at Hamlet.
