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
Image
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.

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
Image
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.

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
Image
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?
