Mara Wilson

Like, to break?

Don't break me.

I'm here to be put together.

My body's already a mess.

Don't break it more.

To extend.

Some horrific... I still can't believe it.

Now, today we're going to talk to Myra Wilson.

We recorded that conversation a few days ago.

Delightful convo.

But I thought it was important because we had such a whimsical, wonderful Nickelodeon chat.

Yeah.

Just to kind of...

acknowledge and sort of look at some of the crazier sides to being a child sort of being involved in children's tv because it is just objectively quite a weird thing like being a kid's quite weird and then suddenly you're a star and on camera and working with a bunch of adults yeah intrinsically quite a weird thing to do like usually when you're a kid you're not working

Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, like, acting is, like, one of the weird things when you're a kid, you're getting paid to do quite a hard, intense job.

Yeah.

And that, unto itself, is quite weird.

there's no part of you as a kid which is good that is thinking like oh this person could be treated horribly or no the opposite it's like these kids have like the best they're having the best time i wish i could have a time that good yeah obviously some of those kids had a terrible time
