I wear jewellery that I never take off. I have a ring and two necklaces. I always have them on and get scared when I have to take them off for photo shoots. The ring is my mum’s mum’s mum’s, and she gave it to me for my 18th birthday. The necklace is the same one that my sister has. She’s called Hannah, and the name is the chain. – Zara Larsson
I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me. I believed this because my sister Emily convinced me of it when I was a toddler. I think she’d seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers and her imagination ran away with her. There’s a part of me that still believes it. – Zooey Deschanel

I grew up on hip-hop. I grew up on Run-D.M.C., Whodini, LL when I was in college, so I’m more of a music fan. I probably have the most eclectic collection of music in my Grand Cherokee. Literally, in a span of a week, I’ll go from 2Pac to Boyz II Men to Sister Hazel, right down to West Side Story or the Wiz. I love show tunes. – Stuart Scott
My sister and I were not allowed expensive clothes. We so badly wanted these Fila sneakers as kids, but my mother took us down to the flea market and got imitation ones. Look at the early Destiny’s Child videos. You’ll see. – Solange Knowles
My mother is not a Catholic, but she’s always tried to drag my brother and my sister and I to church from a very young age, and we have always put up a little bit of a rebellion against it. – Sophie Kennedy Clark
My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist. They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life. – Solange Knowles

It’s hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn’t start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college. – Sara Zarr
I think that’s important to women in comedy, that we get a lot of the good lines and you’re not just the girlfriend or the sister. – Sharon Horgan
I listen to a lot of what my sister Rhea says. I give her a lot of credit for my stuff. When people give me credit for my fashion choices, it’s my sister who creates them. This whole fashionable avatar has been created by her. It’s her brainchild. It’s not me at all. Rhea really takes care of me, though I am older than her. – Sonam Kapoor

My dad was working abroad, and I hadn’t seen him for several years. – Tony Bradman
