The trick to prevent yourself from being triggered, is to counter-trigger the troll. If you're persistent and calculated about how you respond, you can shut the conversation down pretty easily. Trolls feed off rage, just don't get mad, be persistent, and they'll disappear :D
Always turning to look at the audience... very polite of her.

Have you not seen his recent in-depth 4-minute Ricky Gervais interview? Where Ricky defends his atheism and how there's no God - and Stephen defends his Catholicism. In my opinion, Ricky wins easily - but it's good natured and exactly how this kind of subject should be discussed - but it also pulls no punches on either side. And - just hats off to the pair of them - I hope you look it up. That's how it's done! (I've watched a number of his interviews now - and Colbert is an excellent chat-show host; and clearly a very articulate and intelligent man)

I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan who kept up with all the casting news before everyone was set, so I remember her being considered for Eowyn. That was when she was married to Ethan Hawke, and *he* was being considered for Faramir. I'm not sure when they divorced, but I wonder now if their marriage was on the rocks during that casting period, and if it might have had something to do with them both turning down the roles.

Wow she handled that question about the role she turned down because she was a new mother with such grace and humility. Unreal.
What an absolutely wonderful interview. I continue to love this show, because it's so real, and kind!!! Great stuff.

I was watching that clip from Imposters and when the guy says, "What are you going to do if I don't?" I almost screamed "Dude have you NOT SEEN KILL BILL?"
Wow. She has a really easy smile and nice personality. I know this sounds silly but from all the movies I had a completely wrong idea of what she would sound/feel like.
When she walked out, I thought she really looked like Connie Neilson. She's getting sexier as the years go on.
the Thurminator!
I ADORE Uma's laugh... She's so nice. ._.
what a great interview, i could watch it for much longer
I recognize her better as The Uma Thurman when I see her in profile.. She is simply epic in Kill Bill.
You can just tell Stephen was charmed as hell by Uma. What an amazing woman she is.
I still remember her as the sweet and naive Cecile de Volange in 1988 "Dangerous Liaisons". I always compare her contemporary works with that particular piece. It's really mindblowing. And if it's any consolation, I did imagine her playing Eowyn when I read The Lord of the Rings.
I've seen Uma in lots of stuff and have always been a fan, but don't recall hearing her laugh much like I did here. How refreshing.
When they ask you to be in LOTR, you say YES. You can always have a second child, and 'bond' with that one. First one's always a write-off anyhow. Sheesh.

When you think about it, Pai Mei taught her how to beat all the villains in volume 2. Snatching the eye he didn't, 3 inch punch out of the coffin, and finally the five point technique on Bill. Which was sad because the way he talked to his daughter was lovely, but actions have consequences. There's no reconciling a bullet to the head.
