Act Quote by Mara Wilson

“Acting is something I did when I was a kid.…” quote by Mara Wilson — Download Open image

“Acting is something I did when I was a kid. I do act sometimes in friends' projects, but when I do, it's just for fun. It is actually a hobby for me now. I do still love stage acting, but the day-to-day process of being an actor is so exhausting and so taxing.”
