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 Financer 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 Hawk

“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 fan 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 fashion

“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 learnt 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”

On the paparazzi

“I’m sometimes confused by what they choose to photograph. On the set of Motherhood, I was in a hippie floral dress and Birkenstocks. I can’t imagine who would be interested in seeing me like that”

On Aging

“For an actress, every developmental stage is a culling of the herd. New people are found and pushed to the forefront. It freaks me out a little less these days. It makes it easier having gone through working as a teenager and being told that there would be no career for me as a 20 year old. And then working as a 20 year old and being told that was it. And then having children and being told there wouldn’t be a career for me now. The characters I get to play as a mature woman are much more interesting than the ingénues I got to play as a kid, so I feel okay about it”

On her looks

“It’s the same with all actresses. Whether it’s there beautiful long wavy hair or their extraordinary lips or their sparkling green eyes or warm laugh, they’re pegged to some physical attribute. If I looked distinctly different, I would have a different kind of career and different kinds of challenges. But there are plenty of challenges that come from being a tall girl. Nobody would have thought I would have a 20-year career in front of me when I started!”

Uma Thurman has been forced to deny she is expecting her first child with fiance Arki Busson following reports she purchased a bundle of over-sized dresses to prepare for pregnancy.

According to New York Daily News reports on Monday, the actress’ assistant called luxury retailer Fred Segal last week, ordering six dresses two sizes too large for the star.

But a representative for Thurman insists the reports are false, telling Usmagazine.com: “She is absolutely not pregnant. She also did not order any clothes from Fred Segal. We are trying to find out if someone used her name to order clothes that were not meant for her.”

Thurman was forced to deny she was pregnant in July, just after announcing her engagement to Busson, when pictures of the 38-year-old in a bikini on vacation sparked reports she was expecting.

The Kill Bill star has two children, Maya, 10, and Levon, six, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke.

Uma Thurman and fiance Arpad ‘Arki’ Busson have been caught skinny dipping in an Italian lake by the paparazzi.

The couple - which announced their engagement last month - was spotted scantily clad in the water just hours after joining Liam Neeson and wife Natasha Richardson for dinner.

Despite appearing topless in the images, Thurman will no doubt be unfazed by the photographs.

Earlier this month, she defended the paparazzi. She said, “They can definitely be annoying, but at the end of the day these photographers are just doing their jobs - one they probably never imagined they would have.”

Uma Thurman has no regrets about pressing charges against her stalker in a high-profile court case - because she was determined to do whatever it took to protect her family.

Jack Jordan, 37, was ordered to keep his distance from the Hollywood star for five years after he was found guilty of fourth-degree stalking and one count of second degree aggravated harassment by a jury in May.

During the week-long dramatic trial at New York’s Manhattan Supreme Court, Thurman and her parents testified, revealing how Jordan had bombarded them with notes and letters, and threatened to kill himself following his 2005 outside Thurman’s New York home.

And though Thurman is now reluctant to “give any more energy to that (the trial),” she insists she has no misgivings about pursuing the marathon of court proceedings.

She adds: “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.”

Now that she’s engaged to Swiss multimillionaire Arpad “Arki” Busson, Uma Thurman says she’s open to the possibility of having more children.

“I can safely say I don’t know,” the actress, 38, tells InStyle for its September issue. “If it’s meant to happen, it will. I love and adore being a mother.”

Thurman says parenting her two children (with ex-husband Ethan Hawke), Maya, 10, and Levon, 6, is “the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.”

The actress – who announced her engagement in June – adds: “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.”

As for what she looks for in a man, Thurman says, “Confidence, intelligence and goodness. There’s nothing sexier than that combination.”

And while no wedding date has been set, Thurman confirms that she likes to be married. “I crave structure,” she says. “I’ve never had good habits or a formula for how to shape a day, a month, a life, I appreciate anything that makes me focus.”

Uma Thurman has denied reports she has wed her businessman boyfriend Arpad Busson in a secret ceremony, after reports surfaced the couple’s engagement party was a guise for their nuptials.

The Kill Bill star threw her first of two lavish parties on the grounds of Busson’s Kensington, London home last month, upon announcing she was set to marry the Swiss businessman.

And the actress insisted on sharing the news in her native America by arranging a second bash at her Manhattan apartment earlier this month - an event alleged to have been a secret wedding celebration for the couple.

According to the New York Post, Thurman - who sparked pregnancy rumours when she was snapped with a protruding stomach while on vacation in Europe last week - is allegedly enjoying her Honeymoon on the trip with Busson.
But a spokesperson for Thurman denies the star has wed.
