    I think Mary-Kate is one of the most beautiful people out there in the world today. I believe that, despite all the rumers, shes just an ordinary girl, just like me and you. If I ever got a chance to meet her, it would mean the world to me, just to have a conversation with her, and see what she is really like. I think she is a great actor and, again, one of the most sublime people out there.
