Uma Thurman’s Wild Year.
Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Uma Thurman has been quiet on the celebrity scene as of late, however, she has a slew of movies coming out on the big screen and a television special she is filming with the legendary Muppets. So plan on seeing more of this badass chick in the upcoming months! Uma dishes on love, celebrity and her ex-hubby Ethan Hawke in the latest issue of InStyle UK. Enjoy a few of the notable highlights below:
On her reputation:
“I have a reputation for being aloof, but the truth is I’m initially intimidated by people. Get me started though and I won’t come up for air.”
On her recent engagement to Swiss Financier Arpad Busson:
“I know a lot will be written about it – most of it untrue I should add. What can I say? I’m excited, optimistic and joyful.”
On her divorce from Ethan Hawke:
“It has been four years and I don’t want to focus my life on that. If people want to know what I think of my ex-husband having another child, why not just say that I wish the father or my children all the happiness in the world?”
On the male freak who was stalking her:
“I don’t want to give any more energy to that. But if anyone is forced to call 911 and as a result something becomes a police matter, you can’t abandon the process: you need to cooperate and allow the police to do what they need to do. I wasn’t being courageous. It was a situation I needed to see through in order to protect my family.”
On having children:
“I understand that raising children is universally difficult and that people read an article hoping for something worthwhile in it. The truth is I am not on some inside track. I have no incredible revelations to share.”
When asked if she plans to have more children:
“I can safely say I don’t know, if it’s meant to happen it will. I love and adore being a mother. It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.”
On her fashion sense:
“I’ve always admired how European women have such effortless style, as though they’ve been culturally raised to wear clothes gracefully and effortlessly. There’s something wrong about trying too hard to be fashionable. When people are too ‘outfitted’, it comes across as self-conscious.”
On being a celebrity:
“Being a celebrity is one of the fringe aspects of my job and one I’ve been tutored in, so to speak. I’ve learned how to use it in a positive way and benefited from the brush with fame I had in my teens. It’s important to stay clear headed and not to let fame become toxic.”
Gotta love this beotch!
