Uma Thurman's quotes

  • Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal. - Uma Thurman, self description.
  • 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.
  • It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • My washing machine overwhelms me with its options and its sophistication.
  • "Everyone looked the same, everyone had it down to such a perfect T. You get bored. That's when you have to say, 'I will be worst-dressed.'", on her questionable choice of Oscar attire this year (2004)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • I think we all exude essential truths about ourselves, and then, as an actress, there's what you do with it. There's your wit and your imagination, and what you can cook up from your experience and understanding of what makes a human being tick.
  • I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
  • Growing up in a small town in New England was one of the most aesthetically pleasant experiences that you can have. (In Style - February 2006 - "Uma In Full Swing" by Joanne Kaufman)
  • When I was a teenager people often referred to me as jaded or knowing. It's a classic teen illusion to think you know it all, but I've certainly learned I don't.
  • Any guy who shows his penis in a movie gets my round of applause.
  • [on her mother's brief first marriage to drug guru Timothy Leary] People shouldn't be defined by these early alliances in their lives.
  • Look, I wasn't discovered at McDonald's or Howard Johnson's. My background prepared me for life and gave me a fairly open, free-thinking attitude to life and this business we're in. Common sense is highly underrated.
  • I've been doing this [acting] for years and years and years, and people say things nice and they say things mean, and it's just like, whatever. You take the good with the bad.
