"There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they know something you don't."

"A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory."

Religion

Quote_1.png
Uma Thurman
"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."

Work

Quote_1.png
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."

Business

Quote_1.png
Uma Thurman
"Modeling is basically 'Buy more stuff! Don't you want some more stuff? It will make you look ten years younger and men will like you!' If I'd wanted to be a salesperson, I would have got a job selling."

Men

Uma Thurman
"I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up."

Childhood

Quote_1.png
Uma Thurman

Funny

Uma Thurman
"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."

Love

Uma Thurman
"I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing."

Love

"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."

Buddhism

Uma Thurman
"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."
