"I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment."

Buddhist

Quote_1.png
Uma Thurman
"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."

Religion

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."

Eye

Uma Thurman
"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."
