The always beautiful Uma Thurman graces the January cover of 'Harper's Bazaar.' In the issue Uma talks about her looks, life, motherhood, and what her future holds. Here are some highlights from the interview...
Uma on the importance of looks:
“I think women have to be extremely talented and very good-looking if they’re going to be allowed to walk on a set; there’s a lot more leeway for talented men to be more interesting.”
Uma on her career over the years: “…no decade has been disastrous, and I’ve gotten away with murder anyway.”
Uma on life’s transitions:
“Look, my aim is true. I wish everybody no ill. I don’t really participate in any mudslinging or such. I like people to see their lives blossom and not go poorly for them.”
Uma on motherhood and traveling for her new long-distance romance:
“My house is always a disaster. I’m completely uncentered in my tastes. I can never finish anything…Before I had kids, I was even worse. I would constantly move. I’ve made huge strides for the sake of my dear children so they’re not subject to adolescent homelessness from me.”
Uma on the future:
“I always thought things would slow down and I’d go back to school. I’d study history, language, culture, psychology. My curiosities are broad; that’s one of my best qualities, if I say so myself…It sounds like bragging.”
Uma on her accomplishments:
“You know, I think actresses are imagined to be these subjects of great vanity…Life is change, physicality changes. It’s transient, and that’s a beautiful and a painful thing. When I look into the mirror, I think, What have I really done? Not much, if you really want to know. What do I need to do to do more?”
