OLIVIA WILDEI do not tweeze my eyebrows. I’ve been letting them grow out for years. I try to fill them in wherever nature has abandoned me.
OLIVIA WILDEI’m now convinced that I’m a doctor. I mean, if someone says they have a pain, I’m like, ‘Well, that’s your spleen.’
OLIVIA WILDEAs you get older, you start to really ask questions like, ‘Is this the road I should be walking down?,’ because every decision seems more final, as you get older.
OLIVIA WILDEYou really just have to love the process. I can’t tell you the amount of film sets I’ve been on where people are talking about Oscars in the middle of the production. It happens all the time.
OLIVIA WILDEIf I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I’d be a really happy person.
OLIVIA WILDEPeople think that young people don’t care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren’t super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.
OLIVIA WILDEI have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.
OLIVIA WILDEI went to a very progressive elementary school where I was heavily educated in civil rights. I remember learning about Harvey Milk when I was in sixth or seventh grade and being so inspired.
OLIVIA WILDEMany casting directors won’t hire aspiring actors because you might be burning some chick’s headshot under the table so she doesn’t get the part.
OLIVIA WILDEWhen I first did theatre, I was always doing comedies; it was always my first love. But it wasn’t what I was picked for at first, for films and TV.
OLIVIA WILDEIt was helpful to have the confidence of youth that came from a lack of desperation. I thought, ‘If I don’t succeed, I’ll go back to school and study.’
OLIVIA WILDEPeople assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you’re too old to play dumb.
OLIVIA WILDEI feel like the luckiest child in the world because I got to grow up in Ireland. In summer is when you really grow up. During the year, I would go back to the States, and all year long really couldn’t wait to get back to Ardmore.
OLIVIA WILDEI have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.
OLIVIA WILDEI’m pretty low-key; you’ll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.
