I've never considered myself cool, and I don't think I ever will be. Honestly, it's better that way. It's much less pressure.

More quotes by 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
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
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 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 was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.

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.

I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.
Mara Wilson
I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.
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
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
Mara Wilson
I guess I was a philosophical child.
Mara Wilson
It definitely is something that can get frustrating, because you want to live life on your own terms, and it feels for a while like you can't. But I've come to understand that I got to have all these amazing experiences that other people don't have. So this is the trade-off.
Mara Wilson
No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.
Mara Wilson
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
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
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
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 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
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.
