Olivia Wilde Quotes and Photos
To celebrate Olivia Wilde's birthday, here are 9 of her best and most badass quotes to date. Watch out Bieber, she's coming for you.
“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”
"People 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."
"Bieber, put your f**king shirt on. (unless you lost all your shirts in a fire in which case my condolences and please purchase a new shirt.)" via Twitter
"I love kids with a passion I usually reserve for hot cheese, miniature chairs, and Prince concerts, but I feel no stress to reproduce simply because of a fear of withering eggs."
"Trying to find this industry's tendency to celebrate the physical is a waste of time. So I'm happy to play the game. But I am also thirsty for input. I'm not a dunce whose only skill is knowing how to take a photograph, you know? And at the end of the day, I think it makes me slightly less replaceable."
"I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette."
[On husband Jason Sudeikis] "I thought, 'He won't be interested in me. I'm not a contender.' He was so cool, so funny - I was such a fan of his and had always fancied his speed and his intelligence. He's a brilliant actor with a brain like lightning. I thought, 'I'm not beautiful enough or his type.' He seemed to really see me, see through the bullshit. He said very few words and couldn't keep eye contact. He was so handsome, and he could dance."
"I don’t know if some of you have been to these live reads at LACMA, where a classic film is read live on stage by actors who just sit and read the script. We did one recently of American Pie, but we reversed the gender roles. All the women played men; all the men played women. And it was so fascinating to be a part of this because, as the women took on these central roles — they had all the good lines, they had all the good laughs, all the great moments — the men who joined us to sit on stage started squirming rather uncomfortably and got really bored because they weren’t used to being the supporting cast. It was fascinating to feel their discomfort [and] to discuss it with them afterward, when they said, 'It’s boring to play the girl role!' And I said, “Yeah. Yeah. You think? Welcome to our world!"
"It’s really hard to get stories made that are about women. Not just women being obsessed with men, or supporting men. And it’s really hard to get men to be a part of films that are about women in a leading role. I’m really interested in how we can adjust that."
