Uma Thurman interview
Stunning, statuesque and quintessentially A-list, most people wouldn't think of Uma Thurman as an independent mother-of-two trying to balance family life with her career and creative ambitions. She tells Veronica Parker about the conflicts and contradictions of being a working mum
Even
though Uma Thurman describes herself as, "An average
gal," most of us see her as distinctly un-average. A
critically acclaimed actress who has wielded her talent and icy
good looks to great effect, Boston-born Uma Karuna Thurman has a
glut of credits behind her. She's been the centre
of
lustful intrigue in Dangerous Liaisons, the goddess Venus in The
Adventures Of Baron Munchausen, a gangster's moll in Pulp
Fiction and a feisty fighter in Kill Bill. Her personal life has
been equally as eventful. Freshly single, having recently split
from her French financier fiancé, Arpad Busson, she has two
children, Maya, 11, and Levon, 8, by second husband Ethan Hawke,
having previously been briefly married to British actor Gary
Oldman. But out of all this, Uma credits being a mother as the most
challenging and rewarding part of her life.
"I love and adore being a mother. It's the greatest gift
I've ever been given. Having children flips the game from being
about you to about what you can create in a home and what your
responsibilities are. I've thought about quitting acting, but I
love what I do so much - it's the big conundrum of my life. So
I'm fighting to keep my foot in the business, be creative and
stimulated, and still take care of my children."
