More quotes by Mara Wilson
I was never a prodigy. I was never a child genius.
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
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
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
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 guess I was a philosophical child.
Mara Wilson
People think I'm smarter than I am.

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'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 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.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
Mara Wilson
It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.
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
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
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 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
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
