Uma Thurman

• "So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.“
• "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.“
• "I don't feel famous.“
• "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.“
• "I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.“
• "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.“
• "So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.“
• "It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.“
• "When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however.“
• "I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.“
• "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.“
