Lizzie Olsen may resemble her sisters, but she has no problems finding her own look when it comes to her career.

PHOTOS: Elizabeth Olsen Wants Curves For The Holidays!

The 22-year-old actress posed for the spread in chilly Brooklyn Botanic Garden with photographer.

Lizze lets the publication in on everything from her upbringing, her career and her relationship with super-star sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley.

On the special year she’s experienced:
“It’s been a whole year of firsts for everything. It’s weird to look back on, but as it was all happening, it didn’t feel like I was being put under the microscope. But it’s so cool, [Sundance] suddenly puts you in a certain category with other actors, who you have always thought, ‘Oh, I wish I could have done that part.’ That’s a whole new thing. I loved ‘An Education,’ or even Maggie Gyllenhaal in ‘Secretary’. Those were movies that helped give an actor leeway into the world.”

On people’s misconstrued ideas about her childhood:
“People have a weird idea of my upbringing… I did lead a very charmed life growing up, but I was aware of the things that were abnormal. The only time I flew first-class as a kid was when my sisters did these cruises called ‘Sail With The Stars’. They were the main event, so the company would fly us first-class. Other than that, never.”

On if she can see herself doing something more mainstream:
“I would love to. I’m not trying to be different! I’d just rather do roles that are interesting to me. That will probably change when I have kids and a mortgage. But I had a teacher once, who is an actress, and she said, ‘You can hate me or love me, as long as you have an opinion’ and I think that’s great/ Who wants to have their work just be passive or safe?”

On if she spends a lot of time with her sisters:
“Between their schedules and mine, it’s not like we have tons of time to hang out. But when we do, it’s so much fun. Mary-Kate and Ashley have celebrated my birthday with me every year since I’ve been in New York, my last four birthdays, and it’s been so special.”
