Fun wouldn't be the right word... it was the most difficult, challenging, physical, extraordinary stretch I've ever had to make, in all those wild regards.
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.

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
Image
I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.
Uma Thurman
Image
But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
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.

Nobody seemed to have any perspective any longer. Those were low points. But we got through it.

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.
Uma Thurman

I do think that what's wonderful in life is that we gain perspective as we take on different roles that are mind and heart opening.
Uma Thurman
Image
I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.
Uma Thurman

I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
