But we're all so different, we're different ages; we're not vying for the same roles. There's no competition, there's really kind of a sisterhood, on and off the set, you know?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are all several different people. There are different aspects of our nature that are competing.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
I just think that unless you have that cohesiveness in the family unit, the male character tends to become very dominant, repressive and insensitive. So much of this comes also from a lack of education.
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.
What's universal is the texture of our relationships. It's evolving. Times are changing with the women's movement. Men's roles are being redefined and, in some ways, they're confused.
We all have competitive relationships with our siblings.
I think competitiveness between two people is still relevant, and the battle of the sexes still intrigues.
