More quotes by Uma Thurman
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
Uma Thurman
Three tomatoes are walking down the street-a poppa tomato, a mamma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes over to the baby tomato, and smooshes him and says, Catch up.
Uma Thurman
I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.
Uma Thurman
To be with a man who hasn't tried every line, who hasn't broken up with a woman every which way you can break up with them, is kind of nice.
Uma Thurman
When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.' And I wanted to knock them out cold across the table. Because, of course, I was in agony. And the last thing I wanted to think was that I was going to stay that way for a long time.
Uma Thurman
Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.
Uma Thurman
If you're not ready to be in a relationship, going out with someone much younger than you is probably a great idea, because you both can have a decent experience and hopefully nobody will end up feeling cheated when it ends.

Uma Thurman
And I haven't read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I'm sure it's interesting.
Uma Thurman
Urban women don't breed in their twenties. Shortly after, I became a mother too, which is why I was probably so child friendly.
Uma Thurman
I guess I'm lucky to have been blindsided. I'm lucky to have gotten into fistfights, in a way. I'm lucky I learned how to stop them.
Uma Thurman
I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need.
Uma Thurman
Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
Uma Thurman
I do think that what's wonderful in life is that we gain perspective as we take on different roles that are mind and heart opening.
Uma Thurman
It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.
Uma Thurman
Socially, most people delayed motherhood for five to 10 years around us.
Uma Thurman
One feels so despairing on some levels about what's going on in our culture, in regards to things like gender inequality. But there is progress. There is enhanced empathy and respect for others, we are fighting the tide, even though it seems like a tug of war sometimes.
Uma Thurman
But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.
Uma Thurman
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
Uma Thurman
I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.
