More quotes by Uma Thurman
I'm lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place - Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I'm more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place.
Uma Thurman
You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.
Uma Thurman
Nobody makes a movie about a woman in her mid-30s who wishes she could have met someone to have children with and still doesn't know where to find a date.
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 don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.
Uma Thurman
I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn't picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.
Uma Thurman
The argument about marriage equality will one day seem as arcane and shocking to us as the fact that Rosa Parks had to get up and go to the back of the bus.
Uma Thurman
Before I had my child, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It's extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realize your love is inexhaustible.
Uma Thurman
I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.
Uma Thurman
I love comedy. I don't approach it any different. I'm not a comedian. I'm not a stand-up. I just do it like a part and personally, I love to watch comedies. If you don't get to do what you like to watch you get frustrated.
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
It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.
Uma Thurman
It was brief, swift, and then it was done. It was a professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed.
Uma Thurman
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
Uma Thurman
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
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
Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress.
Uma Thurman
Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard.
Uma Thurman
Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
Uma Thurman
I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.
Uma Thurman
