Uma Thurman is crazy. Not crazy like I am gonna eat human flesh crazy, but crazy like I want to get to know that girl a whole lot more because she is so fun and wild. Uma has a spark rarely seen in actresses nowadays. She has the charisma and the beauty of someone 10 years her junior. Some might think of Uma as eccentric or angry as the characters she portrayed in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. In reality she's warm, funny, and very down to earth.

With her new film Prime, she gets to show off a side rarely seen in the roles she has played… her soft side. Granted, we all got a taste of it with The Truth About Cats and Dogs, but she pits her comedic skills against the likes of Meryl Streep and what the audience is treated to is, gasp!, a grown up romantic comedy. You mean no fart jokes or Sean William Scott supporting character to add the "funny?" Nope, this is a smart film with a timely topic that is on everyone's minds: Can a relationship between an older woman and younger man work? The Cinema Source got the chance to sit down with the Oscar nominated actress as she told us how she feels about the state of women in cinema, dating in the modern world, and how some actors can be oh so vain.

"I'm so bad right now. I'm very, very naughty." Those were some of the words that came out in the first 3 minutes of the interview, and boy was she right. She might look like a stereotypical dumb blonde to some, but what you don't know is Uma is wise beyond her years. Uma was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970 into a highly unorthodox and Eurocentric family - her mother is a European socialite and former model, her father one of the nation's foremost Buddhist scholars. She grew up in a very rural Western Massachusetts (Amherst to be exact), which so happens is the same part of the country that I grew up in. Knowing this, I can understand how her environment could have affected her upbringing. She and her siblings all have names deriving from Buddhist mythology, so you can imagine how this might have made school life a tad difficult. She, like most actors, took her raw emotions out on the stage and found her true calling in the theater. At 15 she moved to New York City to enroll in high school and received modeling work because of her tall frame and striking looks. This all snowballed into working on the forgettable films like Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, the favorites like Beautiful Girls, and the head scratching The Avengers. All in all, she has a diverse body of work that rivals anyone in her field.

So when talking about Prime, it's easy to see why ...
