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.

More quotes by Olivia Wilde
The opportunity to be able to tell stories to a massive audience is really incredible and this job couldn't be more satisfying. So, any drawbacks I think are worth it if you really enjoy the work. I hope to be doing this until I die.
Olivia Wilde
I can never describe myself as a movie star. I don't know when that happens but it's certainly not me.
Olivia Wilde
In my work in Haiti, I've seen the hugely positive effects that happen when people come together to build something in the middle of the most desperate situations.
Olivia Wilde
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.
Olivia Wilde
You're 30: You know stuff now. Your 20s were for 'ducking up,' as my auto-correct would say, and learning from those mistakes. (For instance, never again will I convince myself that sleep is for sissies and go straight from a party to the airport. You will not 'sleep on the plane' you'll vomit in the security line. Go to bed.)
Olivia Wilde
I have very high standards for every part of life - my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend.
Olivia Wilde
So are all the kids on the East Coast repeating school next year? Get ready to see a lot of hairy eighth graders. Storm brain drain.
Olivia Wilde
A real feminist doesn't apologize for her beauty. You can be a sexy, beautiful woman and be the smartest person in the room.
Olivia Wilde
I also discovered Pilates when I got pregnant, as people kept saying it's a great way to stay in shape, and now I can't get enough - it's amazing. It helps with aches and pain and, even for non-pregnant people, it's a great way of getting those lean muscles.
Olivia Wilde
If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I'd be a really happy person.
Olivia Wilde
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.
Olivia Wilde
The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily - that's the tragedy.
Olivia Wilde
I 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 Wilde
As a woman who works in a male-dominated business - Hollywood, definitely, being one of them - I instinctually knew what that is like. You have to be strong and take care of yourself.
Olivia Wilde
When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors - you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.
Olivia Wilde
A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.
Olivia Wilde
It's boring to play the girl role!
Olivia Wilde
I shaved the back of my head once and did the asymmetrical hair.
Olivia Wilde
I used to experiment all the time with my hair color.
Olivia Wilde
I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
