More quotes by 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
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
Danny DeVito later told me that he knew he wanted me for 'Matilda' the second I walked in the door. I'm not sure if this is true, or if he was just being nice, but I was thrilled when I got it.
Mara Wilson
People view child actors the same way that girls treat their Barbie dolls.
Mara Wilson
I had people in 'Entertainment Weekly' talking about how they wanted to throttle me because they thought I was too disgustingly cute, as if that were my fault, you know, as if that was my fault, not the fault of directors and producers and such.
Mara Wilson
No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.

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
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
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
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
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
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
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
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 like to make children into little grown-ups.
Mara Wilson
People think I'm smarter than I am.
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
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
Mara Wilson
Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].
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.
