OLIVIA WILDEAll actors should experience public failure.
OLIVIA WILDEI’ve always been a fan of science fiction.
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 love eye makeup. I really like doing a cat eye, playing with liquid liners and different colors of liners, like emerald and deep blues, combining them with black.
OLIVIA WILDEI’ve thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the ’70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.
OLIVIA WILDEI’m proud to have played characters who’ve inspired people to live out loud, and I’m lucky to have reached an audience that’s been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive.
OLIVIA WILDEI have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.
OLIVIA WILDEIt would be so depressing to be a model and not get to say a word. There’s no personality involved.
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 WILDEIf a woman feels anchored to a man’s plans, she may start to resent him for the fun she’s worried she’s missing.
OLIVIA WILDEObviously, local elections are where you can make the most difference, but it’s great when everyone starts talking about what they believe in.
OLIVIA WILDEWeakness is something we don’t like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.
OLIVIA WILDEBelieve it or not, I’m a big fan of patchouli oil. I know it’s not a universally liked fragrance. I usually combine it with other essential oils – I have many mixtures I like.
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 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 WILDEIf you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.
