I wouldn't want to be married to me, but luckily Tom Cruise does.
Nicole Kidman

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.
Nicole Kidman

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'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.
Nicole Kidman

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".
Nicole Kidman

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.
Nicole Kidman

If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around.
Nicole Kidman

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.
Nicole Kidman

It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult, really difficult and very brave.
Nicole Kidman

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!
Nicole Kidman

My choices in films are spontaneous.
Nicole Kidman

My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was 'Oh my God! It's over for her now!' (On her split with Tom Cruise).
Nicole Kidman

Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?
Nicole Kidman

Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can't stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I'm actually a natural blonde.
Nicole Kidman

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.
Nicole Kidman

There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists.
Nicole Kidman

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.
Nicole Kidman

What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching.
Nicole Kidman

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

You don't have to be naked to be sexy.
