Children change a lot in terms of personality. Camaraderie that you feel with somebody might not be there a year later.

More quotes by 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
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
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
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
The Hollywood stuff in the book tended to come later. I think it was because I was worried about leading with that stuff. I wanted to try to make sure that the other stories in the book were as interesting. I wanted to spend more time on them and craft them. The thing is, with writing, it's form or content.
Mara Wilson
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
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'm surprised by how much I remember.
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
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
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
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
People think I'm smarter than I am.
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 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
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
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
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 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
It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.
Mara Wilson
