I still get recognized. It's flattering, but it can be uncomfortable. Maybe because it only seems to happen when I'm looking and feeling crappy. Mara Wilson crappyfeltflatter Change image and share on social
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 accomplishmentchilddoll Change image and share on social
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. Mara Wilson allergicankleathletic share on social

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 experimentfilmmainstream Change image and share on social
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 actanymorebreakup Change image and share on social
People who meet me as an adult are often surprised that I'm alive and have never been in prison or rehab. Sometimes they're disappointed I'm not cooler. Mara Wilson adultalivecool Change image and share on social
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 actorchildlife Change image and share on social
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. Mara Wilson charactercutegirl share on social
Acting is something I did when I was a kid. I do act sometimes in friends' projects, but when I do, it's just for fun. It is actually a hobby for me now. I do still love stage acting, but the day-to-day process of being an actor is so exhausting and so taxing. Mara Wilson actactorday share on social
