More quotes by 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 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
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
I guess I was a philosophical child.
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
Children change a lot in terms of personality. Camaraderie that you feel with somebody might not be there a year later.
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
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
Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].
Mara Wilson
I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.
Mara Wilson
I was never a prodigy. I was never a child genius.
Mara Wilson
I remember reading To Kill A Mockingbird when I was 12. What I liked about it is that it was all seen through a child's eyes. It was Harper Lee going back and writing it from the way a child would see those things.
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
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
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
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
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
People think I'm smarter than I am.
