Olivia Wilde recently sat down for an interview with The EDIT, where she talked about her long engagement to fiancé Jason Sudeikis. The publication quotes her as follows:
"We are seriously connected. Before you have a child, marriage is the ultimate commitment and promise to one another, and then once you have a child, it's like, ‘Oh, we're committed and promised already.'"
On sexism in Hollywood:
"It's institutional. It's not conscious. People don't realize what they're saying, because you hear it from both men and women. But there's this sense that a project is incomplete if there's no male participation...People are now saying, ‘Listen, you need to hire women, specifically because they are women,' and although that's uncomfortable, it's how things change. When I was younger, it felt like the main point was that [I was] one of the attractive actresses, and I felt totally minimized by it, as everyone does. But it's worn off, in a good way; I'm happy to have grown out of the place where that is the main point made about me...The media always chooses one element of you to assign as your identity plaque: ‘She's the mom, she's political, she's the one who is really pretty.' But we are all of those things."
