Uma Thurman had two children, Levon and Maya, with Ethan Hawke. She later had another daughter, Luna, with Arpad Busson. When Thurman became a mother, everything changed. "You know how parents rattle on to you about, 'Oh, you won't believe your life will never be the same,' and da, da, da and you think, 'Why can't these people just get over it? All they're doing is yakking on about their kids. It's such a bore,'" she told People. "And then you have kids and you just want to do all the same things."
Even though Thurman loved being a mother, it did have her reconsidering the balance between work and home life. "You feel much more conflicted," she said. "Sort of like, 'What's worthy enough to interrupt my kid's life to take them on the road with me while I do a movie?'" Thurman ended up slowing down and taking on fewer roles in order to spend more time with her children.
However, as time went on, Thurman enjoyed getting back into her work. "When the children were little I wasn't able to work like I did before," she told Stylist in 2013. "So now, when I do work, it's very much like, 'This is good, this is my time.'"
