More quotes by 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
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 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'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 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
No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.
Mara Wilson
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.
Mara Wilson
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
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
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
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 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
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 remember reading To Kill A Mockingbird when I was 12. What I liked about it is that it was all seen through a child's eyes. It was Harper Lee going back and writing it from the way a child would see those things.
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
Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the directors eyes, you get it right does not allow for very much creative freedom... In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.
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
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 didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted. I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better. I guess I was a philosophical child.
