Quote

I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn't notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.

It's very, very rare to find five roles in one piece where we'd all jump at the chance to play any of them.
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.

[As a producer] [Big Little Lies] is the stories of women that I know, and it was a way in which we could go to other women and say, Here's a great role. There's five great roles here. They're all complicated. They all deserve to be told, and are you interested? And that is rare.

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

My mother said I was always an intense child, a very sensitive child. So that probably helped the emotions to be very present. I was just a big thinker. I would evaluate and analyze and feel and cry and discuss and be angry. All of those emotions were very surface for me.

Your confidence grows as you get older, particularly when you're in a loving relationship. Everything strengthens.
Nicole Kidman
Image
It's my job as an actor to commit to the role and not - through my own inhibitions - run away.
Nicole Kidman
Image
My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.
Nicole Kidman

I believe in continuing to put love and kindness and compassion and art into the world.
Nicole Kidman

Refuse to let your circumstances make you bitter. Do what you must to make them better.
Nicole Kidman

I think if you have someone to love and someone who loves you, that's the greatest beauty secret.

If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career.
Nicole Kidman
Image
I'm a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.

I've just always been interested in how people lead their lives. How they survive in this world. I'm curious about people's damage, and navigating that and the way people forgive. I find it really interesting. That's why we have to transform on a daily basis, work on ourselves. It's work.

At this time in my life, I want to be giving to my relationships. And out of that, whatever work you do prospers because you have more to give. There's something very primal about giving birth. It puts you in a state of being very raw.
