Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.

Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.

Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

Having gone through all of this, I feel in some ways calmer now. It's strange, but sad. I think I'll always be sad.

Honestly, people have said everything under the sun. I just want to do my work, raise my kids, and hopefully find somebody who I can share my life with again.

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me.

I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are preceving you.
Nicole Kidman

I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
Nicole Kidman

I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.

I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.

I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did.
Nicole Kidman

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.
Nicole Kidman

I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.
Nicole Kidman

I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.
Nicole Kidman

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.
Nicole Kidman

I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
