Quote

I wanted to seem completely invisible but whenever you're saying someone else's words and relaying the story of someone else's life, it's not you.

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

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
Image
Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress.
Uma Thurman
Image
But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.
Uma Thurman
Image
I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.
Uma Thurman
Image
I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.

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.

When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.' And I wanted to knock them out cold across the table. Because, of course, I was in agony. And the last thing I wanted to think was that I was going to stay that way for a long time.

Daring to me is having courage it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.
Uma Thurman
Image
If you're not ready to be in a relationship, going out with someone much younger than you is probably a great idea, because you both can have a decent experience and hopefully nobody will end up feeling cheated when it ends.

Image
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
Image
I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.
Uma Thurman
Image
I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.
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.

I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.
Uma Thurman
Image
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.
Uma Thurman
Image
It was brief, swift, and then it was done. It was a professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed.
Uma Thurman
Image
I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
Uma Thurman

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