Quote

"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."

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Her placid face bears the wide eyes and full lips of a classic vamp. These (and other) physical attributes, combined with an air of youthful sophistication, make Thurman the thinking filmgoer's dream date. She made her film debut in Kiss Daddy Goodnight (1987), but neither it nor Johnny Be Good (1988), a sub-John Hughes-type teen comedy, held much promise for this model and cover girl. Dangerous Liaisons (also 1988), however, changed people's perception of Thurman, and her erotically charged performance won her critical praise. Henry & June (1990) gave her a leading role as Henry Miller's wife in the controversial (but little-seen) film based on Ana?s Nin's diaries; another 1990 film, John Boorman's Where the Heart Is also failed to win much of an audience. But Thurman acquitted herself nicely in those parts, and in subsequent roles as well: Kim Basinger's emotionally disturbed sister in Final Analysis (1992), a blind woman stalked by a serial killer in Jennifer 8 (also 1992), the unwilling pawn of gangster Bill Murray who falls in love with Robert De Niro in Mad Dog and Glory (1993), and the leading characters in the long-awaited Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1994) and Pulp Fiction (also 1994, for which she received an Oscar nomination). She was formerly married to actor Gary Oldman.
