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

More quotes by Mara Wilson
Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the directors eyes, you get it right does not allow for very much creative freedom... In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.
Mara Wilson
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
Mara Wilson
I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
People think I'm smarter than I am.
Mara Wilson
I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.
Mara Wilson
The thing is, with writing, it's form or content. You need to write about something interesting or you need to write about it in an interesting way.
Mara Wilson
People view child actors the same way that girls treat their Barbie dolls.
Mara Wilson
Nobody cares about that. I do have guys every now and then who say - it's always guys by the way, it's never women - who say, You were my childhood crush, can we date? And I'm like, There's something kind of creepy about that. Do you hear yourself?
Mara Wilson
People like to make children into little grown-ups.
Mara Wilson
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
Mara Wilson
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
Mara Wilson
I didn't want to whisper and giggle about [puberty] anymore. I felt incredibly self-conscious. I felt like I was losing myself, and I was losing who I was. And that really scared me.
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 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
I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
Mara Wilson
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 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.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
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.
