I'm originally from southern ...

I\'m originally from southern California, so I, like, say \'like\', like, a lot. I\'ve been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it\'s, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?

Quotes from the same author

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.
 Mara Wilson

I've been accused of being pretentious and insufferable, and I don't really know what I can say about that. I never got good grades in school, but I did read the dictionary for fun. That was just the kind of stuff that I liked to do. I can't apologize for that.
