Expect A Call

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.”

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.”

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?”
