      So nice to see she is still just like this 7 year old Mara we are seeing here more or less. She didn’t go off the rails or get into drugs like a lot of young Hollywood stars do. She still stayed sweet and innocent. Maybe retiring from acting at 13 had something to do with this. Perhaps it gave her the freedom to just live life as a normal teenager?

I've read her stuff, and she truly has a way with words, more so than many published novelists. I'm not at all surprised that she started writing as early as she did. She just always knew.

Well spoken but also a little shy, and certainly well mannered. I love how she always had perspective and goals way beyond acting, even as a 7-year-old. She was the same way on the Rosie O'Donnell Show at age 9.

    I listened to an audio version of her autobiography "Where Am I Now" last summer. She sadly had to deal with rejection later on in her acting career because she didn't grow up to look like a Hollywood model-like star. I'm glad she does write as she'd planned. But she had to suffer a lot of loss and struggles with mental health, losing the faith she is speaking of in this interview.

    This girl is unique, I bet she would've been one of the greatest and most talented actresses but it's her choice.

    I don’t know why but she always comes across as British to me. I always think of her as English and the way she speaks I think is a sort of posh English dialect hehe :)
    But I just wanted to say what a lovely, intellectual, smart, talented girl she is. I really hope she’s had a good life and will continue to do so. ❤️
