Actress found her adolescence difficult
Thursday, 28 August 2008
Uma Thurman says she wasn't allowed to engage in small talk as a teen.
The actress' Buddhist monk dad wanted her to have meaningful discussions at the dinner table.
'I had wonderful parents, but my adolescence was difficult because I felt an obligation that I had to live up to this impossibly high intellectual and academic standard set by my parents,' she says.
'They never really pressured me. Other than the fact that dinner table conversations had to be of a certain intellectual standard and we were expected to defend our ideas and arguments.'
Uma, 38, is engaged to businessman Arpad Busson.
