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.

More quotes by Uma Thurman
It is technically a failure when you don't try.
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
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've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
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
On a fundamental level - I know so many women in their 30s who didn't get married, or they did and it didn't work out, or they didn't have children because they were trying to get their careers going, or because they were expected to be independent, plus have a family. They didn't feel secure enough.
Uma Thurman
Modeling is basically 'Buy more stuff! Don't you want some more stuff? It will make you look ten years younger and men will like you!' If I'd wanted to be a salesperson, I would have got a job selling.
Uma Thurman
It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others.
Uma Thurman
But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.
Uma Thurman
Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard.
Uma Thurman
It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.
Uma Thurman
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
Uma Thurman
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
Uma Thurman
Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.
Uma Thurman
We're in an environment where everyone gets compartmentalized very quickly.
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'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
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 taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.
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.
