Olivia Wilde says her divorce has made her a better actress.
The Hollywood star, who is best known for her roles in TV drama House and 2010 science fiction film Tron: Legacy, split from husband of eight years Tao Ruspoli earlier this year.
The 27-year-old says the difficult experience has heightened her emotions, and as a result has seen her acting improve.
"It makes you a more empathetic person, and I think it's made me a better actress," she revealed in the new edition of Marie Claire. "Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it."
The stunning star, who has been linked to a number of Hollywood hunks since the split including Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper, says David Shore, the creator of Fox hit House agrees with the notion.
Olivia has joked that the television producer says she should go through emotional turmoil more often in a bid to keep her acting at an all time high.
"[David] said 'You should get divorced every year; your acting's never been better!'" she laughed.
Olivia maintains that both she and Tao, a son of an Italian prince, are on good terms. The stunning star says she would hate to have a “negative” relationship with her former beau.
"We're friends; his family is my family. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends. But I can't handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. I can't keep any negative relationship with anyone,” she explained.
Olivia admits that both her and Tao, 35, knew their elopement was a risk at the time. The beauty was 19, and married her lover in an abandoned school bus.
"Our deal from the beginning was, 'We're crazy to do this, but we're doing it because we're in love and it makes us happy. The only reason to divorce is if one of us isn't happy. Life is too short.' After really trying to make the relationship evolve in the way our lives had, I realised it wasn't a natural evolution,” she said.
Olivia is feeling shaky about being a singleton. The Hollywood actress says she is fruitless when it comes to dating.
"I'm trying to be adult, entering the shark pool of dating, but I'm hopeless at it!" she smiled.
