More quotes by Uma Thurman
So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
Uma Thurman
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
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 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
Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
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
Urban women don't breed in their twenties. Shortly after, I became a mother too, which is why I was probably so child friendly.
Uma Thurman
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
Uma Thurman
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.
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 would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.
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
And I haven't read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I'm sure it's interesting.
Uma Thurman
The argument about marriage equality will one day seem as arcane and shocking to us as the fact that Rosa Parks had to get up and go to the back of the bus.
Uma Thurman
Socially, most people delayed motherhood for five to 10 years around us.
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
Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.
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
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
It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.
