Uma Thurman OK with age

Uma Thurman doesn't worry about ageing.

The 38-year-old 'Kill Bill' star isn't worried about Hollywood roles drying up as her years progress, because she has been told she would struggle to land parts throughout her career.

She said: "For an actress, every developmental stage is a culling of the herd. New people are found and pushed to the forefront. Now it freaks me out a little less these days.

"It makes it easier having gone through my teenage years and been told there would be no career for me as a 20-year-old. And then working as a 20-year-old and being told that was it. And then having children and being told there wouldn't be a career for me now."

Uma - who shot to fame aged 18 in 'Dangerous Liaisons' - is enjoying the more mature roles she is being offered now she is in her late 30s.

She added to InStyle magazine: "The characters I get to play as a mature woman are much more interesting than the ingenues I got to play as a kid, so I feel OK about it."
