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 an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.
Uma Thurman
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.
Uma Thurman
Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.
Uma Thurman
I think that life force is invaluable.
Uma Thurman
Daring to me is having courage it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.
Uma Thurman
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.
Uma Thurman
There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
Uma Thurman
Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.
Uma Thurman
And also I think particularly as a female, you're taught to be defensive your whole life. You're taught not to be aggressive.
Uma Thurman
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.
Uma Thurman
I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.
Uma Thurman
Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.
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 grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
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
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
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.
Uma Thurman
I'm lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place - Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I'm more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place.
Uma Thurman
It is technically a failure when you don't try.
Uma Thurman
