A biography for Olivia Rodrigohasn’t been written yet.
“I've always been such an oversharer. I'll tell my Uber driver all of my deepest traumas and insecurities, and so I just think songwriting for me is an extension of that aspect of my personality.”
“I sleep for 13 hours a day sometimes.”
“I definitely put a lot of pressure on myself all the time.”
“If I'm ever stressed out, I'll like jump in a pool or the ocean or even going in the shower and I'm just reborn.”
“I had such a desire to live and experience things and make mistakes and grow after 'SOUR' came out, I kind of felt this pressure to be this girl that I thought everyone expected me to be. And I think because of that pressure, maybe I did things that maybe I shouldn't have - dated people that I shouldn't have.”
“It was really hard for me to watch people on TikTok and stuff that dissects my 17-year-old love life. That was really weird. But again, I think I understood the curiosity.”
“I think writing the first album, it just felt so spontaneous. I was 17 years old learning how to write songs for the first time and just pouring my heart out. I had so much to say.”
“I don't have beef with anyone.”
“I think if you distill any emotion down to its most essential parts, that in itself is truthful if you're really feeling that way.”
“I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 - it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change.”
“I just love telling stories, whether that be in a song or movie, that's really something that really excites me.”
“Most 14-year-olds aren't in a room with adults being like, 'So, what's your brand?'”
“Obviously, I write all of my lyrics from my heart and my life first.”
“I'd be lying if I said that putting my deepest, darkest insecurities and sadnesses out there is just slightly scary. But I've always been an oversharer.”
“I think songwriting has really helped me home in on what I like about myself and my art.”
“I've always just wanted to be taken seriously as a singer-songwriter - not that being an actor takes away from that at all.”
“You can literally create a whole song in your bedroom, and it can affect millions of people.”
“Hope Ur OK' makes me really sad, in a great way - it just makes me really emotional. It's a super personal song about people that I really love. That one gets me.”
“There's so many Twitter conspiracy theories. I only look at alien-conspiracy theories.”
“I'm just constantly learning and growing at such a rapid rate.”
