People Knows Quote by Ashley Olsen
“Some people look at it as complete mayhem, or just paint splattered on a canvas, and yet there's so much emotion behind it. Some people will never, ever get that. No one knows what it's been like for us, and really, we don't expect anyone to know the good, the bad, or the amazing. What we do expect is for people to just respect the decisions we make.”
