More quotes by 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
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
People like to make children into little grown-ups.
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.
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
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
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 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
It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.
Mara Wilson
That's my suggestion for kids who want to act, by the way: Make sure it's really your choice, get out of it when it stops being fun, and get an education.
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 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
I was never a prodigy. I was never a child genius.
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.
Mara Wilson
I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.
Mara Wilson
No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.
Mara Wilson
David Sedaris wrote in one of his books that people like to make children into little grown-ups, which to him is about as funny as a dog in sunglasses.
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
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
Mara Wilson
Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].
