Elizabeth Olsen has revealed that being Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen's younger sister hasn't always been easy.
The Martha Marcy May Marlene actress recalled that she disliked being constantly compared to her famous older sisters when she was a child.
"It's very clear that I'm the younger sister. My whole life they've been like women, while I've been trying to be a woman but still a kid," she told Marie Claire.
Elizabeth also revealed that being the youngest Olsen sister caused problems when she studied at New York University.
"That's the only time in my life I ever felt different for having sisters in the public eye. People would knock on my door and be like, 'I heard there was a party here', just because they knew that I lived in that room," she recalled. "It was so weird."
Elizabeth next co-stars with Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener in Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, which will be released in 2012.
