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.

There were things that I knew that I was going to keep to myself.

When my oldest brother started acting. From there, I wanted to act myself. That's the long story short.

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.

I'm surprised by how much I remember.

The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare.

If I ever have children of my own, they will read Matilda. They will watch the movie. And you can bet they will see Matilda: The Musical.
