I'm originally from southern California, so I, like, say 'like', like, a lot. I've been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it's, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?

I'm surprised by how much I remember.
Mara Wilson
I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.

I don't know if I'm always going to be acting. Maybe when I grow up, I will be a scriptwriter. I already have a few scripts in my head.

I think I might like to try film again just as an experiment, but I know that I could never do the mainstream thing again.
Mara Wilson
I guess I was a philosophical child.

I consider my relationship with acting in Hollywood as sort of a mutual breakup. Through puberty, Hollywood didn't really want me anymore, and I was like, 'Yeah, I don't really want you, either.'
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.

I think if I could do it over again - as much as I loved meeting the people I did on the films after 'Matilda' - I wish that I had stopped after 'Matilda.' I wish that I had just focused on my own life for a while.
Mara Wilson
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
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.
Mara Wilson
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?
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
Children change a lot in terms of personality. Camaraderie that you feel with somebody might not be there a year later.
Mara Wilson
I had so many adults around me reminding me that I was a kid. I also had a lot of adults saying things to me like, When I was your age... and sort of idealizing it. I didn't like that they idealized it.
Mara Wilson
If I ever have children of my own, they will read Matilda. They will watch the movie. And you can bet they will see Matilda: The Musical.
Mara Wilson
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
Mara Wilson
People like to make children into little grown-ups.
Mara Wilson
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.
