More quotes by 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
I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
Mara Wilson
Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.
Mara Wilson
I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted. I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better. I guess I was a philosophical child.
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.
Mara Wilson
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
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
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.
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
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 thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
Mara Wilson
People like to make children into little grown-ups.
Mara Wilson
People think I'm smarter than I am.
Mara Wilson
I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.
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
No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
I was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.
Mara Wilson
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?
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.
