More quotes by Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
Uma Thurman
I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.
Uma Thurman
I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need.

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
I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.
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
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
We're in an environment where everyone gets compartmentalized very quickly.
