As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.
Nicole KidmanTo be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. Thatโs why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised - they donโt see you behind closed doors.
Nicole KidmanI think having my life be as private and quiet as possible is a way in which then I can go and play characters.
Nicole KidmanI still feel vibrant and alive that way. I'm in a marriage where we put an enormous amount into our marriage. I always say, there's me, there's my husband, and then there's the "us," the us that we create. That's what we really take care of. We never, ever take it for granted. We do everything we can to be together, not to be separated for periods of time. We're just a very, very tight family unit, and we're really kind to each other. I think it's so underrated; people don't appreciate the necessity of that in society now.
Nicole KidmanAs an actor you're only as good as the things you're offered. And there just weren't any female directors offering me things. So when you dissect that, you realize there aren't women offering you things because they don't have the opportunities. I work to raise money for women's cancers; I use my voice for violence against women.
