Olivia: I think there was no other profession for me. I was either going into an insane asylum or to be an actor. (edit)

Olivia: I went through a phase when I was 13 where I would only fall in love with people over the age of 19 or 20. I never had a real relationship with any of these people, but it was definitely the guy I wanted to hang out with and wanted to go on trips with. I would be like, "But, Daddy, he's a musician!". (edit)
Olivia: (on competing with the other actors on the 3rd season "House" team) We decided very early on that the only way to deal with the competitiveness that was obviously in the air was to joke about it constantly. (edit)

Oliva Wilde plays number 13 in Fox's HOUSE M.D. and she does a wonderful job of it too. She's an outgoing girl who learns from her character bit by bit, and is a great actoress!

"Give him/her a show!"
the second season was very touchy and intense. i enjoyed the series. the ups and downs of the relation between all characters was very well potrayed. relations one by one took time to settle . a true and realistic potrayal of the young generation.
