AP: Is G-Girl a role model?

Thurman: Her excessive neuroses and insanity puts a pin in it, you could say. Short of that, absolutely. It’s nice to see (a superhero) who’s just bold and lets it all hang out.

AP: What’s next for you?

Thurman: I’m going to do this wonderful drama called “In Bloom,” and we’re making it soon. It’s very exciting. Evan Rachel Wood is playing me as a younger person, I’m playing her as an older person and we split the movie in half equally.

AP: Are there any more “Kill Bill” movies or Quentin Tarantino projects coming up?

Thurman: Not now. We’re both doing other things. But maybe one day.

AP: You started acting when you were a teenager. How did you know performing was your thing?

Thurman: My grandmother was a stage actress so I guess I heard of it as something that people do. One of the first steps is imagining it possible for yourself. It’s the greatest job in the world, so if you get a taste of it, it’s what you’ll want to do, too.

AP: What is the most surprising thing about celebrity?

Thurman: Hard to say. It’s something I’ve done since I was so young that I don’t really have any perspective on it. I guess fame is a much more complicated thing than people might think it would be. It’s sort of like a secret, like parenting or death or birth or things that change your life in weird and mysterious ways that you wouldn’t anticipate. But I love my job and it gives me so much that I can’t complain about a thing.

AP: What do you do when you’re not working?

Thurman: I’m pretty loosey-goosey. I do whatever I can. I’m one of these overly enthusiastic people who wants to do everything and I have a list longer than my life of the things I wish I could do and had done and want to do.

AP: Are there more comedies in your future?

Thurman: My film I’m doing this fall is a drama, but I would love to do another big funny comedy. I love to make people laugh. It’s the most satisfying thing.

AP: Is “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” a chick flick?

Thurman: Guys love this movie. This movie is written by a man, made by a man. It’s sort of a male fantasy nightmare. So guys are loving the movie. But I throw that shark for every girl in America who ever wanted to throw a shark in her life.
