Very sad, very upset, very glad I did not have to hear about this though Twitter. Probably going to be taking some time off it for a while.

Danny DeVito later told me that he knew he wanted me for 'Matilda' the second I walked in the door. I'm not sure if this is true, or if he was just being nice, but I was thrilled when I got it.

No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.

People who meet me as an adult are often surprised that I'm alive and have never been in prison or rehab. Sometimes they're disappointed I'm not cooler.
Mara Wilson
Image
I had people in 'Entertainment Weekly' talking about how they wanted to throttle me because they thought I was too disgustingly cute, as if that were my fault, you know, as if that was my fault, not the fault of directors and producers and such.

People think I'm smarter than I am.

My grades in high school were not very good. I was that kind of perfectionist that figured if you can't do it perfectly, why do it at all?

It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.

Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.

I'd rather be known for my accomplishments, and for things that I really do take pride in, rather than known for this doll-like image I had when I was a child.
Mara Wilson
Image
I've never considered myself cool, and I don't think I ever will be. Honestly, it's better that way. It's much less pressure.

I get a lot of Shut up, Matilda. I probably get as many Shut up, Matildas as Wil Wheaton gets Shut up, Wesleys. That was an actual line on his show, though.

For me [being a kid actor], it's a bit like when you see your mom's friends, and they're like, I remember when you were this big. You'll always be that cute little kid to me. It's like that times a thousand. Well, times a couple thousand.

I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.

I didn't want to be a former child actor for the rest of my life, although in some ways I suppose I am. I am going to be that.

I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

Whereas when I was a teenager, other teenagers didn't want anything to do with me. It was even like that in college to a degree. People of that age don't want anything to do with their childhood, because they had put away childish things, and they're trying to distance themselves.

I remember feeling enormous pressure because I didn't want to be Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple was Shirley Temple, and I didn't ever feel like I could live up to that.

I've been accused of being pretentious and insufferable, and I don't really know what I can say about that. I never got good grades in school, but I did read the dictionary for fun. That was just the kind of stuff that I liked to do. I can't apologize for that.

People seem to forget what it was like to be a child. I think it's partly because they want to forget, because it usually wasn't as good as you thought it was, and so you want to skip over those things, and not have to relate to that anymore.

I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
