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.
— Nicole Kidman
I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.
Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?
I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
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.
You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.
I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.
You're not anyone in America unless you're on TV.
I wouldn't want to be married to me, but luckily Tom Cruise does.
Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.
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.
My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was 'Oh my God! It's over for her now!'
I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.
I don't believe in having body doubles for a film.
If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around.
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.
I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I'm a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I'm betraying myself and my children.
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.
What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching.
I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
I'd like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I'm willing to go through a lot.
You don't have to be naked to be sexy.
I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
That goes against what I believe morally. That's adultery, and if I'm accused of that, no, that's not right. I have two kids who see that and remember that and judge me. It didn't happen, and it's not to be reported that way.
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.
My choices in films are spontaneous.
I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.
There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists.
