“In general, I think it’s good not to worship those you admire. It’s important to understand that all people are flawed and make mistakes and say stupid/cruel/hateful/inappropriate things. And it’s good to hold those people accountable. But it’s also possible to like someone who is flawed. In fact, it is more or less necessary.” —

“Alfred Hitchcock once described actors as cattle. ‘That would make child actors veal,’ said Mara Wilson, star of the 1996 film ‘Matilda.’” —

Why do so many child actors “lose it” as young adults? Recently, Nickelodeon’s ’90s sensation Amanda Bynes wrapped herself up in a media and police frenzy, similar to actress Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears (circa 2007). Listen to Wilson on the pressures of child stardom and read the rest from Talk of the Nation. (via npr)

This is a genuinely worthwhile read. Mara Wilson was always awesome, and it’s great that she seems to have grown up to be so well-adjusted.
