Elizabeth Olsen's Quotes

• [on Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)] Sean Durkin really wrote a complex character that really hasn't been written, and that's challenging. It's such a smart way of writing, you totally understand the characters and I was just completely obsessed and in love with "Martha" and the script.
• When I was 14 or 15, I was a really good volleyball player, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I'll just get a scholarship to an Ivy League school through volleyball.' Then I quit when I decided to focus on theater.
• If you don't like something, talk about something else that's great and maybe someone else will discover it and think it's great too.
• I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.
• And I think in theater, people don't really focus on the media unless there's a huge superstar doing a play or something.
