I was taught to value hard work. At the end of day, I'm just Olivia.

If you think that your child is going to be really sensitive to the fact that they might not win - which they probably won't - you shouldn't do it because it's not healthy if they get the feeling that they're not good enough or they're not worthy.

We have little bags we pack specifically for touch-up makeup if you're chosen for the top 16. I knew I had to sneak in my banana because nothing calms my nerves like it! I don't know if it's the potassium, but I need it before I get on stage because it always calms me down.

The whole process of winning the pageant has been so amazing, I'm really excited to move forward into all kinds of projects.

I think the pageant system is about empowering women. I think that aspect of it is great, but when you take parents who are forcing their children to do anything, I don't think it's healthy.

Ryan Gosling's, like, my crush, but I don't really pay attention to his personal style.

It really comes down to being able to inspire others by being comfortable with yourself. You have to show girls that everyone is different; everyone has things they don't like, but they work it and walk the runway.

I'm a real girly-girl.

I wash my face day and night. I actually really love Dr. Lancer face wash, and I also love Neutrogena.

I'm still really interested in acting, I love film so much. It's definitely something I'm going to explore as well.

This is a free country, and to each their own.

I love Evian face spray because it's a really easy way to just freshen up your face, especially if you're traveling on an airplane - I get really dry on airplanes.

The show I'm obsessed with watching is 'Say Yes to the Dress!' Because I love the whole makeover idea, and I'm a sap for love, of course.

I think that, if anything, the pageant is great for people who suffer from body issues. It's all about being comfortable with what you're given and what you have and being able to flaunt it without being insecure. It's about empowering women, not making them feel weak or less.

I have to have coffee in the morning.

You're filmed that one very special day of the pageant, and you want to make sure you're as ready to go as you can be.

I tried putting teabags under my eyes because they say that the green tea - the caffeine - will help with under-eye bags and moisture. It worked! That's a new tip.

There is no ideal body. It's just taking what you have and working it.

I do want to finish my education. I just don't think that Boston has a big enough market for what I want to do.
