It's very early in the morning. We're alone in a Beverly Hills hotel room. Uma Thurman reaches for the first cigarette of the day.
Assume what you will.
You would be wrong, of course. It's just an old man's fantasy. Sharing a sofa with the statuesque actress can do that.
The truth is that it is early in the morning because Thurman needs to get this interview started as soon as possible so she can catch a flight home. The actress needs a cigarette because she's nervous. Two hundred flights already have been canceled because of an East Coast snowstorm, and she's worried that she won't be able to get back to New York City to see her two children.
But she is willing to answer a few questions before she leaves.
Her new movie ``Paycheck," the John Woo-directed thriller, opened Thursday. She plays a biologist opposite Ben Affleck, a computer whiz whose memory is erased. With Thurman's help, he must start remembering the events of the past three years before he is killed. Thurman has a much bigger role in the Quentin Tarantino movie ``Kill Bill: Vol. 1," for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe, and reprises that role in the upcoming ``Kill Bill: Vol. 2."
