Quotes about the girls:
Martha Madison
"I loooove working with the twins who play Claire. They are the prettiest, sweetiest, most docile children I've
ever seen. Their names are Olivia and Ava White." -April 2006
"I looooove those twins (Ava and Olivia) so much! They are getting bigger... running around and learning how to
talk. So, it's been more of a challenge to work with them lately because they just want to run and giggle all the time.
However, they love to "write there own dialogue", which adds to the spontaneity of the scenes a lot...hehe!" -January
2007
"I was warned about working with kids when I started, but I have never, ever had a problem with Ava or Olivia."
"Those kids are born for this, and they are both just amazing. They are a pleasure to work with and the cutest things."
"I play with them a lot when we're not taping. It's good for all of us involved in storyline with the girls to be as
familiar with them as possible. They're a lot of fun. Who wouldn't want to hang out with them?"
"They're singing that song, "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round." If you sing that with them, they actually can
do the "round, round, round" and "the mommies on the bus go, 'shush, shush, shush'" parts with their hands. It's adorable."
"We play airplane sometimes, too. I fly them around in my arms. They love that."
"Ava is really good with me."
"Olivia is sometimes good with me, but always good with the boys. She loves the boys. She's my kind of
girl."
"Ava seems more like a mommy's girl. She's more familiar with women."
"Those twins are going to be the next Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I just know it. They've done more work
than a lot of people on our show."
"The fact that they're learning sign language, because their character is deaf on that show. The kids are so smart. They
know different signs for different words, words that they can't even say yet. That's fascinating. It just goes to show you
that they understand what you're saying. They just can't say it.
"Do the twins ever make us laugh during tape? Uhhhh, totally!! Brandon and I have certainly brushed up on
our improv skills. Those two definitely keep us on our toes." -April 2007
"It was so great to work with the twins again. They have gotten so big and really started talking a lot.
I don't know if you noticed, but when Shawn came into the hotel room with Claire and Belle was on the sofa with all
the bedding for the couch, she said 'Hi Baby"! It was so funny! Their mom told me later that Ava thought the pillow
was a baby doll. LOL!" -September 2007
"We all found out about it on their last day. It was really sad. I watched those girls grow up and formed a wonderful
relationship with their parents. I'm sad they won't get to continue to grow on the show for everyone to see but I plan to
stay in contact. I absolutely adore them." -January 2008: SOW Article
"That's kind of a scary situation to put a two year old in although Ava and Olivia were getting used to seeing
'Mommy Belle' crying all the time. But a 4 year old would probably understand it better." -January 2008: SOW Article
Brandon Beemer
"They're the cutest little girls and they're such little actresses."
"Sometimes, they'll add their own dialogue. Last week, one was in my arms and we were taping, and I was talking to her.
All of a sudden, she just looks at me and she's like, 'Dada.' I was actually talking to somebody yesterday and I said 'Those
kids have made me look forward to my future of having kids because they are so great to work with and so beautiful.' They
make you want to have kids."
"I remember the first time Ava and Olivia White actually starting calling me 'daddy' and recognizing me. That made
me feel like Shawn was my character."
"They have been getting better.. they are so smart. They are learning so fast. We just play with them a lot
and we start to know what they like and don't like and just go with it."
"Olivia Loves guys!!! Ava doesn't favor anyone..you just have to catch her when she's in a good mood. lol"
"I love working with the twins, and I hope to continue working with them in the near future. They're both easy to work
with." -Brandon & Jay chat 2007
"I sang to her. And flew her around the stage. She loved that. She also loves it when you take her
to look at the things on the stage. She is so curious." -on the twins and what they did backstage while filming
on Aug. 15th
"It's was a very sad day. I became very close to them both and I miss them so much." -talking about the

perfect." -early 2006 SOD interview
Jay Johnson
"They're good to work with, that's why you get twins!" -Brandon & Jay chat 2007
"Those twins are great. Ava & Olivia White, umm, very smart, very intelligent. Uh, the cutest kids, they're really
starting to talk a lot more on set now and I think, uh, they haven't been working as much but, which I think is a good thing
I think that they aren't getting so tired on the set anymore, and they're having a good time, and do I play with them backstage?
Umm, sometimes, yeah. They... when they first came on the set... I had... I wanted them to get use to me and acquainted with
me, so I would go into their dressing room, and kinda play with them and introduce myself and yeah I think it worked out,
you know we have a good time on set." -Ask the Hunk: Part 2 December 2007 (i asked him what it was like working
w/ the twins)
