"My great-grandpa had a garden and he was a really good cook so he'd make lumpias, which [are] kind of like Filipino egg rolls and really yummy."
"I definitely have a lot of traits that I think I inherited from my family members."
Olivia added: "My parents, they've taught me how to be kind and respectful, and to always do the right thing."
Olivia's mother, Sophia, is a schoolteacher.
She was born in the United States but is of German and Irish ancestry.
Both parents have always been very supportive of Olivia, home-schooling their daughter from an early age and taking her to piano lessons.
Olivia told MTV UK: "I had my first proper piano lesson when I was probably nine years old, and I hated it. I would cry before every lesson."
"But, in hindsight, I'm very glad I was forced to be in piano lessons because I use those skills that I was taught every day."
"Playing piano is one of my favorite things to do now, so [I'm] grateful that my parents forced me to do that."
