Uma Thurman Admits To Struggling With Motherhood
Uma Thurman struggled to “find herself” when she had children. The ‘Motherhood’ actress – who plays internet blogger and mother-of-two Eliza Welch in the independent comedy – found it easy to get into character because she understood how hard it can be to define yourself once you have become a parent. She told OK! magazine:
“Well, her circumstances are different, but her concerns are the same as mine. Trying to be true to yourself as an individual and as a woman and be a loving mother and grow and find yourself – that’s the kind of thing we all deal with. I thought that was really universal.”
The 39-year-old actress has two children, Maya, 11, and Levon, seven, from her first marriage to actor Ethan Hawke, who she divorced in 2004.
Although she struggled to juggle motherhood and her career at first, Uma insists raising a family has allowed her to grow as a person.
“The most rewarding thing about motherhood is the incredible opportunity to love and expand your heart, and to learn, and to discover yourself in many different ways.”
Meanwhile, Uma has confirmed she has met with Quentin Tarantino about starring in a third ‘Kill Bill’ film.
The actress – who played Beatrix Kiddo, also known as The Bride, in the two ‘Kill Bill’ movies – said:
"We did chat. He has not yet finished the script. I don't even really know if he's really started it, although I got a taste of some of his ideas and they are really good. He has started to share with me what he was thinking, and it's awesome."
I know many many many people who are VERY excited about another 'Kill Bill'. Truth be told, I'm more interested in Uma's current film, 'Motherhood' and can actually completely related with her initial statement regarding the struggle women face after the life change.
Uma Thurman Attends Motherhood Press Call
Uma Thurman attended the 45th Chicago International Film Festival to support her newest film, 'Motherhood'.
In Manhattan, a mother of two preparing for her daughter's sixth birthday party has no idea of the challenges she's about to face in order to pull off the event.
Oddly enough, it's all been about Uma for me this month. I started to do the newspaper crossword puzzle for a hobby and her name was an entry last night. (Anyone else a fan of the crossword?) The week before I was interviewed by The NY Daily News and the piece revolved around Uma's new film and women who blog. Uma. Uma. Uma. :) I'm not complaining - she's a lovely actress.
Are you interested in seeing this film? It also stars Minnie Driver and Anthony Edwards.

Quentin Tarantino Says Another 'Kill Bill' Is In The Works
Quentin Tarantino is planning another ‘Kill Bill’ sequel. The director wants Uma Thurman to reprise her role as Beatrix Kiddo – more commonly known as The Bride – for a third time, but warns fans they face a long wait for the third installment in the martial arts franchise.
"The Bride will fight again! I gotta wait a couple years because I wanted 10 years to pass. There are two reasons why. One, I think Uma and I needed a 10-year break cause the first one was so hard. And second, I really love the character. I think she deserves a 10-year release of no fighting and being with her daughter Bebe, just of peace. I put her through a lot in those first two movies, I want her to have a nice, peaceful life for 10 years. I want her to set up her store, and have some peace. But after ten years we'll make her fight again."
Wow, I love how much he loves his character. Quentin actually thought she should virtually be able to spend some time with her daughter.
According to the filmmaker, a release date of 2014 would be likely for the movie. Are you looking forward to seeing "The Bride" fight again?
Uma Thurman Covers W Magazine
Doesn't Uma look amazing? Of course, she always does, but this cover just blows me away! The notoriously private actress also opened up to W Magazine about her personal life.
On marrying fiance Arpad "Arki" Busson and where they'll live (Arki's based in London):
"I'm happily engaged, but we haven’t set a wedding up. I'm not in a rush to do anything. One day we'll do it, when we’re ready… We can't live anywhere else because my children's father lives here. We'll figure that out."
On reassessing her life as she approaches 40:
"I can’t say my 30s were the easiest time. And I had thought my 20s were hard! ... You know, that's the worst mistake a woman can make, to think, Oh, I'm 32 and I’ve had two kids and I've worked since I was 16 and now it's going to get easier. Because as soon as you think that, you're doomed! You’re absolutely doomed!"

The Paparazzi Worked Their Way Into Uma Thurman's New Movie
We've all seen (and, let's face it, enjoyed ;) the pictures of celeb moms and their children in the park. Paparazzi attention is part of being a celebrity. For Uma Thurman's and Minnie Driver's new movie, 'Motherhood,' the paparazzi became such a pervasive influence that they got into a scene in the movie!
'Motherhood' director Katherine Dieckmann told E! Online's Marc Malkin that watching the paparazzi hound celebrity moms at NYC parks inspired her to include a scene in the movie with that happening. Jodie Foster agreed to do a cameo as the celebrity being hounded by paps.
And true to life, the real paparazzi were hounding Uma and Minnie at the same time.
"One day, Minnie was queasy, it was hot out and these guys would not
leave her alone," Dieckmann said. "She was so hormonal and started
screaming at them and then they starting snapping her. I stepped
between her and the paparazzi and go, 'She's pregnant!...Like f--king
be a human being for one second. They all left except for one guy, who
was like, 'I just have to get my shot, man!' "So Dieckmann struck a deal with him: "We actually let him be in that scene with Foster to leave Uma and Minnie alone."
It worked.
"And then the night before [Foster's shoot], Jodie says to me, 'You
know, if you want to write me a line, you can write me a line,' "
Dieckmann remembered with a laugh. "I was like, 'OK, I will write you a line.' So I wrote her, 'Go work in a soup kitchen, you f--king parasites!' "
LOL! Who says film isn't true to life?
Here's a description of the film. Does it sound like something you want to see?

Pierce Brosnan Saved Uma Thurman From A Runaway Minivan
While on location filming new movie ‘Percy Jackson’, Pierce Brosnan spotted an out-of-control vehicle speeding down a hill straight towards co-star Uma Thurman.Good thing he has all that Bond experience!! Listen to what a source says the actor did:
“No one was aboard the runaway van as it barrelled towards a grassy area where Uma was relaxing with cast and crew.
Pierce yelled, ‘Get out of the way!’
“He raced after the van, wrenched open the driver’s side door, jumped in and slammed on the brakes.”“Everyone scattered out of harm’s way. Pierce got kudos and hero 007 jokes from Uma. The transportation crew were in trouble for not setting the van’s emergency brake.”
Thank goodness everyone was ok!
Uma Thurman
