On how she announced a deal in January 2021 with Geffen, which had emphasized her skill as a songwriter: “Songwriting is the thing I take most seriously in my life….It’s the most personally gratifying too.”

On how she held firm in her belief that people want to hear something honest: “I literally wrote them in my bedroom….And I think you can tell.”

On how music critics have identified comparisons to other artists in her music: “Young women are constantly compared to each other. I’m the ‘new this’ or ‘this woman meets that woman,’ and that can be reductive….I’m just Olivia. I’m doing my own thing. It’s meaningful when people recognize that.”
