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.

No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.

I think if I could do it over again - as much as I loved meeting the people I did on the films after 'Matilda' - I wish that I had stopped after 'Matilda.' I wish that I had just focused on my own life for a while.

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.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

Image
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

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.

Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.

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.

Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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 was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.

I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.
