Unlike her sister, Rooney, who was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Kate's rise to fame was rather gradual—and it wasn't until she landed the role of Zoe Burness on the Netflix series House of Cards that the actress became a household name.

Still, she insists she has never been jealous of her younger sister and calls their shared passion for acting a "bonding experience."

"Luckily, we have never been competitive with each other," she reveals. "No one in my family had ever tried acting before, and I didn't have any actor friends, so for a while there I was figuring it out on my own. When my sister became an actress, it was awesome to have flesh and blood sharing this intense experience. It's really been this superintense bonding experience for us."

As for her thoughts on aging in Hollywood now that she has entered her thirties? 

"Every year I feel a little bit better—even if it's not a great year," she explains. "Like, even if it might not be as successful a year, or it's a year of heartbreak or whatever, I feel a little bit smarter and more able to deal with it. I've never had that stigma based on age. People are so afraid of getting older, especially in this business, but luckily I don't have a Peter Pan complex," she says, adding, "I mean, if you're not getting older, then you're dead, right?"
