I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.
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.

Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard.
Uma Thurman

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 grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.

More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape. There are times when you go to learn, when you go to be moved, you go to be transported, and there are really times when you go to escape. And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies.

I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.

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.

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.

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
Image
For a writer, they say write what you know. As a performer, you find it in yourself, in your heart. You relate to the character. You try to live it, try to have it be real for you.
Uma Thurman
Image
Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.
Uma Thurman
Image
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
Image
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.

We never left a set until we'd trashed it.

Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress.

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

But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.

Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of 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.
