To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
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. - Uma Thurman
I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show. - Uma Thurman
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 practice them. - Uma Thurman
I'm lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place - Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I'm more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place. - Sylvester Stallone
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. - Uma Thurman
If you're not ready to be in a relationship, going out with someone much younger than you is probably a great idea, because you both can have a decent experience and hopefully nobody will end up feeling cheated when it ends. - Uma Thurman
It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet. - Uma Thurman
It was brief, swift, and then it was done. It was a professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed. - Uma Thurman
It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others. - 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. - Uma Thurman
It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone. - Uma Thurman
It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again. - 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. - Uma Thurman
More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape. There are times when you go to learn, when you go to be moved, you go to be transported, and there are really times when you go to escape. And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies. - Uma Thurman
Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard. - Uma Thurman

Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress. - Uma Thurman
