Quote

Acting runs through my blood. There is some sort of creative desire to express myself and I would need that outlet. Otherwise I would be a nightmare to live with

More quotes by Nicole Kidman

Image
In particular, for my character, Celeste [in Big Little Lies], there was a way in which we wanted to present her, because she has sort of barriers that she has to put up for protection because of things that are going on in her life. Yet she wants to be, I suppose, very presentable but neutral.

I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.
Nicole Kidman
Image
I think we do need radicals. We need extremists, because that's how change happens.
Nicole Kidman

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.

When someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves.

Image
They've said I'm gay, they've said everyone is gay. I personally don't believe in doing huge lawsuits about that stuff. Tom does. That's what he wants to do, that's what he's going to do. You do not tell Tom what to do. He is a force to be reckoned with.

As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.

~My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It's always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences.~

Whatever you do in life, don't give up on your own dreams.

In my heart I'm independent, a bit of a rebel, a nonconformist.

When I was working with Stanley Kubrick [on Eyes Wide Shut], he would always say, You never tell the audience what to feel. Let them choose to have their responses.
Nicole Kidman
Image
I'm spontaneous. I jump in. I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it's a more natural process.
Nicole Kidman
Image
The accumulation of experience gives you a debt in terms of compassion. I am very fortunate, and I feel dedicated to giving back to other women. Wherever I am now, I make sure I visit a women's shelter. But I don't want to do it in a frivolous way.
Nicole Kidman
Image
Once I start putting all my little insecurities in my mind, I'm not actually acting. Then it's about me - and it should never be about me. It should be about the character.
Nicole Kidman
Image
I do have to say my daughter, Sunday, said to me [I was being] overprotective, so you must have been a fly on the wall.

I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.

You'll nip anybody who's coming at you with bullshit. You don't play around. You take this craft very seriously. It's what separates you, what separates an actor from an artist.
Nicole Kidman
Image
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 perceiving you.
Nicole Kidman

I got married really fast and really young.
Nicole Kidman
Image
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.
