More quotes by Uma Thurman
There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
Uma Thurman
~You know how parents rattle on to you about, 'Oh, you won't believe your life will never be the same,' and you think, Why can't these people just get over it? All they're doing is yakking about their kids. It's such a bore. And then you have kids and you just want to do the same thing.~
Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman
I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
Uma Thurman

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
I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.
Uma Thurman
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
Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress.
Uma Thurman
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
Uma Thurman
Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.
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
Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard.
Uma Thurman
