More quotes by Uma Thurman
Nobody makes a movie about a woman in her mid-30s who wishes she could have met someone to have children with and still doesn't know where to find a date.
Uma Thurman
I was not particularly bright, I wasn't very athletic, I was a little too tall, odd, funny looking, I was just really weird as a kid.
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 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.
Uma Thurman
One feels so despairing on some levels about what's going on in our culture, in regards to things like gender inequality. But there is progress. There is enhanced empathy and respect for others, we are fighting the tide, even though it seems like a tug of war sometimes.
Uma Thurman
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.
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
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
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
There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
Uma Thurman
Three tomatoes are walking down the street-a poppa tomato, a mamma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes over to the baby tomato, and smooshes him and says, Catch up.
Uma Thurman
Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.
Uma Thurman
I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.
Uma Thurman
That's the wonderful thing about drama and writing and fiction: it's this wonderful shared experience that we all have. We can see into each other's lives.
Uma Thurman
I think we are living in a time, where as a whole, as a community, people do want to push the boundaries.
Uma Thurman
I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.
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 used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.
Uma Thurman
Daring to me is having courage it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.
Uma Thurman
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
