Nicole Kidman
Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family.Collection: Medical
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.Collection: Anger
I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'Collection: Future
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.Collection: Imagination
I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.Collection: Legal
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.Collection: Future
Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.Collection: Relationship
LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.Collection: Life
I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.Collection: Sad
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.Collection: Smile
You don't have to be naked to be sexy.
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 love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.
I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.
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.
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.
I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.
It's so bizarre, I'm not scared of snakes or spiders. But I'm scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!
I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine.
I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me.
You're not anyone in America unless you're on TV.
It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.
Not to be too detailed, but I've had an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and I've had fertility treatments. I've done all the stuff you can possibly do to try get pregnant.
Yippee! I can't believe I made it. It feels like a long haul to get here. I'm so fine with it. People want you to have some sort of breakdown, but I'm relieved to be 40 years old, and I've lived a life.
I auditioned for the role of an angel in the Nativity play at school. I didn't get it. I auditioned for Mary; didn't get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to Baby Jesus.
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.
What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching.
I wouldn't want to be married to me, but luckily Tom Cruise does.
There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists.
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 refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.
I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.
My choices in films are spontaneous.
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.
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.
If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around.
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.
I don't believe in having body doubles for a film.
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.
I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.
My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was 'Oh my God! It's over for her now!'
Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?
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.
I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.
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.
I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did.
I'm trying to find a man to share my life with, but it's not been easy. I'm a 35-year-old woman with two small children.
