Quote

"Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it. Sometimes I try to downplay it a bit because people are like, 'God you guys.' I just feel so fortunate that I have found someone who will put up with me and stay with me."
- on her marriage to Tom Cruise - August 2000[On husband Tom Cruise] "I wouldn't want to be married to me, but luckily he does."

"Now I can wear heels."
[commenting on her break-up with Tom Cruise - August 2001]"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!"And I am standing in front of my mother, And my WHOLE life I have wanted to make my mother proud. And now I'm going to make my daughter proud. (On winning the Academy Award for "The Hours")"When I heard about the Suzanne role in To Die For, I thought, 'I'll never get it - it'll be offered to someone else.' So I called Gus [Van Sant] at home, and he took my call, thank God. I told him I'd seen Drugstore Cowboy, and I really wanted to work with him. I said I was destined to work with him."

"I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine."

"These different people that I play become the loves of my life."
The split from Tom Cruise left me very fragile but I'd love to marry again."
I would love to have boobs and a butt like Jennifer Lopez but I'm not having surgery so there it is"I've never been so excited to have people walk all over me for the rest of my life. (On receiving her star on the Walk of Fame)"You want to take some responsibility in your choices so that it sets the groundwork for that next generation of actresses - so for me doing Lars von Trier, I would hope that says to another generation: 'go and seek out those directors, it's ok'."
On Dogville: "One day it would be a fairytale, the next it was a nightmare. Lars was gentle with me - he was gentle and soft, then he would beat me up emotionally when he felt he needed that. I did not always register what was happening until afterwards but you shouldn't have too much awareness as an actor, I don't think."

"I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine."
As a backdrop for a thriller, it's fantastic, but also since I'm Australian and I've always worked internationally and this is an international place in New York, I really like the kind of communication it represents. I know I sound very much like my character now, but I do believe in this place. [on filming 'The Interpreter' at the UN Headquarter in New York]It's weird because they're all coming out at once. But I made them over two-and-a-half years. [on 'Cold Mountain', 'The Human Stain' and 'Dogville' being released within months of each other.]You look at somebody's work as an actor and you can see their emotional life being fed into it and you can kind of feel them through it. That's far more interesting than anything I could say about where I'm at or who I'm with. It's good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.It's a comedy. We hope. (on the troubled 'The Stepford Wives')"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."

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Born in Hawaii and raised in Australia, she studied dance and drama from childhood and made her film debut in Bush Christmas (1983) at the age of 14. Her performance in the 1985 Australian miniseries "Vietnam" made her a star in that country and won her several awards. Other credits include BMX Bandits (1983), Wills and Burke: The Untold Story (1985), Windrider (1986, as a rock star), Emerald City (1989), and the miniseries "Five Mile Creek" (1985) and "Bangkok Hilton" (1990). Her performance as a snooty upperclasswoman in Flirting (1990) was duly noted when American moviegoers got to see the film in 1992. This tall, strawberry-blond actress garnered excellent notices for her first major film role, as the terrorized but resourceful wife adrift with a homicidal maniac in the Australian sailing thriller Dead Calm (1989). She came to America for Days of Thunder (1990), in which she was conveniently cast as a doctor for leading man Tom Cruise. The highly touted racing saga failed to live up to expectations, but offscreen Kidman won the heart of costar Cruise, whom she subsequently married. Since then, she has played Dutch Schultz's moll in Billy Bathgate (1991), an Irish immigrant in Far and Away (1992, reteamed with Cruise), an American spouse (who's a psychopath in reality), in the overheated Malice and an expectant mother in the tearjerker My Life (both 1993). In 1995, Kidman starred in Batman Forever and To Die For.
