00:00How often do you sort of look back on your Disney Channel days and what, like, what are your best memories from that time in your life?
00:06I look back pretty often.
00:09Actually, funnily enough, my mom had sent me this, like, throwback memory that she had posted, I think, on Facebook, like, 15 years ago when she just sent it to me this last week.
00:19But it was a post that she had written, like, Olivia's Disney show got picked up.
00:23Oh, my God.
00:24And it was just such a sentimental moment and bittersweet, you know, because that's, I had been acting a little bit before that, but that show was my big break.
00:33And it was really the place where I learned what acting is, really, because I didn't, I was a kid, like, I didn't really know what I was doing.
00:42How old were you when you started?
00:43I was 10 when I started acting.
00:45I was 12 when we shot the pilot for the Disney show.
00:49Wow.
00:49Girl, that was quick.
00:50Yeah.
00:51That was really quick.
00:52Wow.
00:53I've been an adult for a while now.
00:55But entering, like, this new phase of my life, like, I really get to look back on those experiences and they've shaped me into the human that is sitting here right now.
01:04When you started at 10, I feel like every kid's dream, every kid actor's dream is to be on the Disney channel.
01:09I mean, what was it like when you knew that you were going to get your own TV show on Disney at 12 years old, just two years into it, which I'm sure went by like that.
01:16It did.
01:17It really did.
01:17It went by very fast.
01:19But surreal.
01:22Yeah.
01:22I mean, I watched Disney channel growing up.
01:24Who were your Disney girls?
01:25Were you like, were you a Demi Selena, Lizzie McGuire?
01:28Like, what were your touchstones?
01:30Yeah.
01:30All of them.
01:31I mean, when I think when I first started watching Disney, it was Lizzie McGuire.
01:34Oh, my God.
01:34Even Steven.
01:35That's a Raven.
01:36Like, that was definitely.
01:37That was the time.
01:38Yeah, it really was.
01:39And that's, I mean, those actors are truly, like, what made me want to be an actor.
01:44And, of course, on Disney channel.
01:45Everyone jumped at being on Disney channel.
01:46Are we obsessed with Hilary Duff's new song?
01:48Obsessed.
01:49It's so good.
01:50It's so good.
01:50No, it's so good.
01:51I love it.
01:52Does it make, you want to get back in the studio?
01:54Of course it does.
01:55Yeah.
01:55I love making music.
01:56Yeah.
01:56And I'll eventually go back.
01:58And I definitely, I kind of relate to Hilary in this way where it's, you know, sometimes
02:03you just get so caught up in certain areas of your career that you want to hone in and lean
02:10on that one thing.
02:11And it's hard to juggle all of the things.
02:13But, yeah, music was my first love.
02:15I'll eventually start making it.
