Mara Wilson Quotes

No, you will never see me on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Sorry Picture Quote #1

Puberty was definitely difficult for me Picture Quote #1

People like to make children into little grown-ups Picture Quote #1

People think I’m smarter than I am Picture Quote #1

If I were to talk to Lindsay Lohan, I’d encourage her to get the hell out of acting and into something soothing. Take up botany or something Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty cautious and not very athletic, so I’ve only had really dumb injuries, like sprained ankles and allergic reactions. I did have to go to the hospital after slicing my finger while trying to cut a Kaiser roll in half Picture Quote #1

I remember feeling enormous pressure because I didn’t want to be Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple was Shirley Temple, and I didn’t ever feel like I could live up to that Picture Quote #1

The celebrity aspect is nothing short of ridiculous, and auditioning is brutal and dehumanizing. Every time I see a pretty young girl on the subway reading sides for an audition, my only thought is, ‘Man, am I glad I’m not doing that anymore.’ I never feel nostalgia, just relief Picture Quote #1

I’m originally from southern California, so I, like, say ‘like’, like, a lot. I’ve been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it’s, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know? Picture Quote #1

I can’t take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby Picture Quote #1

Assume everything you put on the Internet can and will be seen not only by the person you’re talking about, but your future romantic partners and bosses, too Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been more of a nerdy, academic type. I loved ‘Star Wars’ growing up. I have three older brothers, so they were a big influence on me. We loved ‘Danger Mouse,’ and we love ‘Monty Python’. We loved any kind of British comedy and ‘Wallace and Gromit’ and all of that stuff Picture Quote #1

The next time a former child star is in the news, look at the age at which he or she started performing. Then imagine making a life-changing decision at that age. Chances are good he or she wasn’t the one who made it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I would like people to know me for who I am, especially since I think people have a very skewed image of me. I was playing a lot of cute characters, a lot of little girls; I was objectified. And I don’t want people to think of me as that because it’s not who I am, and because I’ve seen a lot of hostility towards that image Picture Quote #1

I think that when I was child, acting was mostly just a hobby for me. It was something that my parents encouraged me to think of the way that my brothers thought of their cross-country classes, or my little sister to dance classes and art classes, and it was something like that for me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Matilda’ was my favorite movie to film and my favorite to watch, as well Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any plans to pursue film acting. It’s not my thing anymore, if it ever was. Yes, I do still act sometimes. But when I do, it’s with people I know and trust, people who respect me as a person and appreciate what I have to offer Picture Quote #1

I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first Picture Quote #1

If you can affect someone when they’re young, you are in their heart forever, Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s easier to see children as mini adults than it is to imagine or to remember what it is to be a child again Picture Quote #1

Film can be exciting, but more often, it’s tedious Picture Quote #1
