Mara Wilson Goes to Boarding School
You remember Mara Wilson as a young girl starring in films such as Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Miracle on 34th Street. You probably don’t remember her in Idyllwild Arts Academy, because that was not a film but an arts-based boarding school in California and you probably didn’t go there with her. In this languid and relaxing interview, Mara shares her stories and experiences at a school where, unlike her films, there was no telekinesis, Robin Williams dressed up like a lady, or real Santa Clauses.Follow Mara Wilson on Instagram @marawilson.

Another installment of my late-night confessions!Sometimes litter tells a story. Once I saw a bunch of men’s clothes and belongings that had very clearly been thrown from a window, and knew that someone had just been broken up with. Sometimes it’s a story you’d rather not know, like the time I saw a condom on the floor of a McDonald’s in Toronto.I’m not sure what this story was, though I’d like to think it was a child’s birthday party. The sunscreen was from a responsible parent, the Topo Chico sel...

The Hilarious World of Depression
Mara Wilson Had Great Opportunities and Difficult Challenges
While it was easy for audiences to enjoy Mara Wilson as a perky child performer in movies like Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, the young actress had mental health issues that weren’t enjoyable at all. Mara had been dealing with severe anxiety for as long as she could remember. Her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer just before Matilda started shooting and Mara developed symptoms of OCD. Then came depression, and eventually body dysmorphia, too. Mara Wilson is 32 years old now and has relegated acting to the sidelines. She has a good grip on how her mind works and fe...

Another installment of my audio confessions!OK, it wasn’t actually last night, but I did The Secret Society of the Sisterhood this past week, and it went great! The audience there is always so lovely. I was a bit nervous about telling the story I told, but they made me feel so comfortable and accepted.Do people really do the “picture the audience in their underwear/naked” thing when they have stage fright? I’ve never tried it, even when I’ve been really nervous. I can’t imagine it making me feel any less uncomfortabl...

Midnight Confession #21: Notes on Camp
A new installment of my weird and embarrassing audio confessions. I never went to a “normal” summer camp. When I was nine I almost went to a Girl Scout summer camp with some of my friends, but I think we all lost interest after we found out there weren’t any actual tents or cabins, just “outdoor sleeping platforms.” I would have been way too afraid of getting malaria from mosquitos to go. Apparently, they’ve since built A-frame cabins.The summer camps I went to were all “specialized”: first I went to an aviation camp, sort of like Spa...

Midnight Confession #20: Do These Grapes Taste Sour to You?
New audio confession!I’ve watched Fleabag I don’t know how many times and I have to remind myself that yes, we’re all jealous of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but no, we can’t all be Phoebe Waller-Bridge. We don’t all get to be the outliers, and that’s OK. (This also means we don’t have to date Martin McDonagh. The Pillowman was great, but he seems like… a lot to deal with.)I think it’s a bit like what Dorian Corey said: “You don’t have to bend the whole world. I think it’s better to j...

Actually, I remember my dad flipping through the catalog once, too, and saying “They have some nice stuff. Maybe you should order from there!” But I think I was too scared to branch out.

I like when people can find the highs and lows in the everyday. Sure, I love a good monster story, too, but sometimes I just want regular kid stuff, with less peril. This might just be me, though.

Putting punctuation in your band name so it looks like people are saying “I don’t like fun.” when they dislike your band? Yeah, that’s annoying. (Although, I think by a lot of people’s standards, I don’t really like fun. I’m extremely risk-averse and very bad at enjoying things in the moment. Maybe it’s genetic: someone once told me there’s no word for “fun” in Russian.)It reminds me of when I was in fourth grade and...

Midnight Confession #10: So What Difference Does it Make?
It’s time again for an embarrassing story told through audio!This installment is a demonstration of two of my deepest-held beliefs: the appeal of something dramatic, and over-the-top is universal. Morrissey (unfortunately) filled that void for some of us for a while, with his maudlin silliness, but everybody has some kind of spectacle that they love. It’s musicals for me, but it’s pro-wrestling or heavy metal or breakdancing for someone else. It’s catharsis!Also, everyone I know entering their thirties is now dealing with some kind of chronic illness or pain. That’s a much m...

It was cool to be a food or alcohol snob. Unless you wanted to enjoy something ironically (remember when Pabst Blue Ribbon was a hipster staple?) you were going to be judged for your tastes.
