There's a reason that girls cut off all their Barbie doll's hair and dye it and do things like that. I destroyed my Barbie dolls, and I know other girls did as well. And that's kind of the way they see kids movies and child actors in kids movies, as something that you've moved on from. It's babyish.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.
Mara Wilson
I thought I started acting at 5 or 6, it was really when they were interviewing real families for a toothpaste commercial. They interviewed our family.
Mara Wilson
My mother died when I was young, and I was filming all the time. I was all over the place. Acting was the one constant.
Mara Wilson
I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
Mara Wilson
Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].
