Quotes by 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.

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.

I think I would be very sad if I wasn’t able to have a baby.

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 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.

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 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’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.’

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.
