A quote from Olivia in an interview in The New York Observer:
'When people saw The Black Donnellys (2007),
they didn't know it was the same girl from The O.C. (2003).
I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette.
I feel like people treat me now how I should be treated.
People used to be shocked, when I was blond, that I wasn't stupid.
I used to get these comments that I swear people thought were compliments.
Like, "Oh! You're smart" -- like they couldn't believe it.' (15/04/2007)
