More quotes by Uma Thurman
I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.
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
Socially, most people delayed motherhood for five to 10 years around us.
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
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
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 is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.
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
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
Uma Thurman
I think that life force is invaluable.
Uma Thurman
I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.
Uma Thurman
More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape. There are times when you go to learn, when you go to be moved, you go to be transported, and there are really times when you go to escape. And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies.
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
I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.
Uma Thurman
It is technically a failure when you don't try.
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
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
Uma Thurman
It's hard sometimes if you think a character should look a certain way and you're being pushed to do it differently. I've had fights over that. That's why it's so important that you work with good people.
Uma Thurman
I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.
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
