7 Super Questions with Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman may not be able to save New York City in one fell swoop like her My Super Ex-Girlfriend character, but the 36-year-old has her own set of superpowers. Although Jenny, aka G-Girl, falls hard for Matt (Luke Wilson), the first man who tries to rescue her, Uma doesn't seem like the kind of woman who needs to be saved. Despite a brief marriage to Gary Oldman in the early '90s and a highly publicized divorce from Ethan Hawke in 2004, which is still shrouded in rumors of adultery, Uma's been looking like a lady in love lately. The lucky man? Hotelier Andre Balazs. The pair reportedly split in March 2006 but were photographed on a beach in Saint-Tropez several months later. With or without a man, however, the Kill Bill star is every bit as intelligent — and tall (she's six-feet!) — as you'd imagine. We sat down with the star and found out how she handles breakups, what superpower she'd really like and more.

In the movie, you have several sex scenes with Luke Wilson in which you end up literally pushing the bed through the wall in the, uh, throws of passion. Tell us about your super sex scene.

I generally don't find sex scenes that interesting in movies anymore. But this is funny. I mean can you think of a funnier sex scene in a movie? You've got to go almost overseas to get the humor back in sex, and I love seeing that in a mainstream, American movie. Like having some lightness — some humor.
