Nicole Kidman about ...

... the world of cinema:

Cinema - an area directors, you just have to ask: "What would you like?". Acting craft - very often adaptation, physical and emotional.

Stanley Kubrick taught me to believe in himself as a artist. In 20 years, I have enjoyed being a wife and mother, that was my main interest. And then he told me: "No, you must respect your talent, to give him the time and place in my life." It was good advice. And appropriate - in fact, by the time I heard it, my children are grown up. I do not like to plan anything and kept under control. There are actors who take matters into their own hands - they make good directors and producers, but I'm not one of them. When I am asked what role I would like to play next, I honestly say, "I do not know." I will never know for sure, just try to be open to everything that I offer.

All these people that I had the opportunity to play, become a true love of my life.

... about the "Oscar":

I imagine myself standing in front of her mother - all my life I tried to do something, so that she could be proud of me. Now I can be proud of my daughter.

... oprisuzhdenii a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame:

I never thought that I would be so happy at the thought that people will step over my lifetime.

... about personal:

You look at the game of the actor, see emotion he puts into the role - and get to know him as a person. It's better than talking in an interview about who you are and who you are. And in general, it is always better to keep a little distance, not to let strangers into their personal lives. Including because talk aloud about love actually destroy it.

... about Tom Cruise:

I myself would not for anything would not want to take himself a wife - but, fortunately, he wanted to.

... about looks:

Optionally, to undress, to be sexual.

I have a boyish figure - and, frankly, I would prefer to be a bit fuller. Bends seem to me very beautiful!

I would like to have large breasts or ass Jennifer Lopez, but under the knife for the sake of this, I will not lie - so that everything remains as it is.

... about growing up years:

At the very young age, I knew that I would not miss any of the things that I want to offer life - no matter how dangerous and risky as it may seem.

Back when I was a teenager, my father convinced me that there is talent as a writer and to go into journalism in me. I inspire and began to keep a diary - a habit to write down my thoughts kept me to this day.

The parents were told that I would not take an actress - because I'm going to frame higher than any of the protagonist. Then I thought, "Well, okay, I will writer."

... the fears:

My biggest fear is that moment in life when back turn around and say: "Here, they were my best years And now.?"

Here's what's interesting: I am not afraid of snakes or spiders, but can not stand the butterflies. There is in them something sinister, something strange.

... plans for the future:

I would love to be truly wise. For this purpose it is necessary to go through a lot and a lot to go through, and I'm just going through a lot and a lot to go through.
