Quote

Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.

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.

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.

I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

Fun wouldn't be the right word... it was the most difficult, challenging, physical, extraordinary stretch I've ever had to make, in all those wild regards.

I think everybody has a hard time connecting, but as you get older and you want more and you expect more and you know more, it's just different. If you start wanting too much from it without it naturally unfolding, then that makes it bad. If you start not wanting anything, then you are not serious. I mean it's just this conundrum of issues.

I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.

I think that life force is invaluable.

I think we are living in a time, where as a whole, as a community, people do want to push the boundaries.

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.

There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
Uma Thurman
Image
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.

I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.

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.

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.

It's hard sometimes if you think a character should look a certain way and you're being pushed to do it differently. I've had fights over that. That's why it's so important that you work with good people.

I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.
Uma Thurman

I think actresses are imagined to be these subjects of great vanity. Life is change physicality changes. It's transient, and that's a beautiful and a painful thing.

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.

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.
