Even as speculation about Olivia's sexuality continues, there's also been an online conversation about comments she made in interviews years ago. In a tweet, user @chrrysuckr resurfaced an old interview Olivia gave about the move to directing. "I almost feel like someone who has come out of the closet," she said. "There’s this feeling of honesty about what I really want to do, and it’s a level of comfort from being true to yourself that I haven’t felt in a long time." 

In another quote excerpted from an interview, Olivia said she considered a "soft kind of lesbian relationship" following her first divorce. After the comments were resurfaced, some said that were hurtful, careless and misplaced.
