Nicole Kidman

• "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 never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.“
• "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'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.'“
• "I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.“
• "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.“
• "You can ask me pretty much anything. There'll be things I'll go, 'That feels a little too personal.' But most things I don't have a fear of being asked about.“

• "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.“
• "When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.“
• "When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.“
• "I want to go home at night and feel discomfort.“
• "I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it's all very upfront. I can't hide it. I'm also loyal and I hope I'm fun.“
• "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.“
• "I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.“
• "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.“
• "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.'“
• "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.“
• "I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.“
• "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.“
• "Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.“
• "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 think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.“
• "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.“
• "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.“
