- Besides being an actress, black belt, gymnast and singer, she is a cheerleader and has competed in numerous cheer-tournaments.
- Her best friend outside the Kickin' It (2011) cast is fellow actress Jadin Gould.
- Has been a singer/actress since the age of three.
- According to Olivia, the scariest day of her life was when her brother Cade fell from a pier onto some rocks...badly cutting his head. "I watched him being taken away by the ambulance," she recalls. "We'd always been really close; and now I was rooted to the spot where he'd fallen, as all our moments together came flooding back. So there I was - alone, on my knees and in tears - because I thought he was going to die." Fortunately, Cade soon recovered; he and Olivia have been closer than ever since then, according to herself.
- Has been a competitive gymnast for five years.
- I am thankful for all the blessings and talents I have been given, but most of all I am thankful for my loving and supportive family.
- One year, I was a go-go girl for Halloween, and I got all this glitter eye shadow, my hair was poufy with braids, I was wearing all these different colors and fake eyelashes that went all the way up to my eyebrows. I totally enjoy the whole Halloween feel.
- I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I'll get to pursue them.
- Ever since I was really little, I loved performing and being up on stage, and being the entertainment.
- I think people would be most surprised to know that I love scary movies.
