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

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
Uma Thurman -
I love and adore being a mother. It's the greatest gift I've ever been given.
Uma Thurman -
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.
Uma Thurman -
Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.

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 -
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 -
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 -
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.

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.

~You know how parents rattle on to you about, 'Oh, you won't believe your life will never be the same,' and you think, Why can't these people just get over it? All they're doing is yakking about their kids. It's such a bore. And then you have kids and you just want to do the same thing.~

It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

I don't feel famous.
Uma Thurman -
My washing machine overwhelms me with its options and its sophistication.

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

I love comedy. I don't approach it any different. I'm not a comedian. I'm not a stand-up. I just do it like a part and personally, I love to watch comedies. If you don't get to do what you like to watch you get frustrated.
Uma Thurman -
I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.
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 -
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.
