Growing up in a family of talkers, actress Olivia Wilde quickly learned that there was nothing worse than being called boring.

Olivia Wilde gained notoriety from series regular roles in television shows The OC, House MD, and The Black Donnellys. Now that she's officially entered the realm of super-stardom, she's finding it easier to play around and take risks in roles that challenge her to explore new parts of herself. One such a film has been Joe Swanberg's Drinking Buddies, which co-stars Anna Kendrick, Jake Johnson and Ron Livingston. Wilde plays Kate, a fun, frisky woman on the verge of 30... but still acting like she's 22. She says she can relate to characters whose personality "does well at a certain point in life when you're allowed to be kind of a mess."
