During the chat, Blake Lively expressed her love for her family, sharing,

"I have a big, close, loving family, and they’re all from the South, but because so many of them are actors, everyone was very normal about it. It was just like any job to them. They always came home and talked about it around the dinner table the way any family talks about work, but it wasn’t anything special."

Later, discussing having an age gap with her siblings, she further continued,

"I have a big family and no one ever treated me like a child. They always treated me like an adult, like an equal."

"I’ve learned so much from her, and she’s learned so much from me. I never go in and say, 'Hey, you should really do this.' I think we’re constantly observing and learning from each other. I see things that she does with her kids, and I’m like, 'Oh, that is so great. That’s so wonderful and special.' Or I’ll go, ‘I love how she handled that’ and then implement that in my life with my kids. And she does the same."

"It’s like you don’t have to have those types of conversations because you’re so in tune [as sisters]. And we’ve had so many shared experiences together."
