LONDON: In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K., the ‘Kill Bill’ star said that she missed being a "passenger" on Richardson’s driven life.

“She would have a plan on arrival anywhere and would be carving the best out of life and every situation and every person," Fox News quoted Thurman as telling the magazine.

She added, "She wasn’t as much a passenger as I am, which made us great companions in life ... because every driver needs a passenger ... and every passenger needs a driver. So it’s a big loss in my life.”

Natasha’s sudden death has inspired Thurman to make sure she lives her life to its fullest.

The 39-year-old actress, who was married to and shares two children with actor Ethan Hawke, is all set for a London wedding to British tycoon/philanthropist Arki Busson.

Uma said: “Isn’t life amazing? Isn’t life full of surprises? When it comes to things like marriage, you just never know. I find that growing up has been all about realizing that life gets more serious, and that it’s also really important to increase your sense of humour.”
