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.

My mother died when I was young, and I was filming all the time. I was all over the place. Acting was the one constant.

I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

My grades in high school were not very good. I was that kind of perfectionist that figured if you can't do it perfectly, why do it at all?

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.

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.

People think I'm smarter than I am.
