fun school apologizing
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.
children thinking world
It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.
children people
People like to make children into little grown-ups.
children thinking people
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.
children innocent
I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.
children thinking sexuality
A lot of child actors think they need to re-invent themselves, especially young women. Usually what they do is they adopt a sort of overt sexuality. It's fine if they want to do that, but a lot of times I think they feel obliged to do that, and that is something that I don't think anybody should feel obliged to express.
writing interesting something-interesting
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.
children thinking people
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.
love-to-read
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
crush childhood guy
Nobody cares about that. I do have guys every now and then who say - it's always guys by the way, it's never women - who say, "You were my childhood crush, can we date?" And I'm like, "There's something kind of creepy about that. Do you hear yourself?"
remember
I'm surprised by how much I remember.
shut-up
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.
brother long acting
When my oldest brother started acting. From there, I wanted to act myself. That's the long story short.
cities tiny wealthy
If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.
