More quotes by Mara Wilson
People think I'm smarter than I am.
Mara Wilson
I guess I was a philosophical child.
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'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
Do people think I'm cool because I was in a movie when I was a child? No. Well, maybe a little bit more than they used to. There's definitely a nostalgia factor.
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
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
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
I thought I started acting at 5 or 6, it was really when they were interviewing real families for a toothpaste commercial. They interviewed our family.
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 thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
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 was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.
Mara Wilson
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
Mara Wilson
I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.
Mara Wilson
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
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
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 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 didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
Mara Wilson
