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. Mara Wilson Read Quote

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. Mara Wilson Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
