Nicole Kidman: Endlessly Interesting
Here are the scans of Nicole Kidman in the December 2006 issue of Vogue, on the cover dressed in a gold Versace armor-inspired bodysuit. Here are some choice excerpts from the interview:
On the strength of love: “I’m a big believe in the power of love. It wasn’t that I’d given up home, I was just… asleep. Bt now I feel like I’ve woken up again.” On how she chooses her film roles: “I’m drawn to playing women who are complicated, and beautiful in their complication.” On what’s she’s learn these last two decades: “I’ve very hard when you are in your 20s to cultivate a relationship. You get the advice ‘Don’t get married when you’re 22,’ and you just think, They don’t know what they’re talking about. But now I look back and think, Oh, there’s probably some truth to that. You don’t realize that you are sort of uninformed, trying to find out what you believe in and who you are. And for me, I’m much more about the other person… Not giving up on who you are. I think that’s the big lesson and having the guts to speak up at times when you don’t want to, or you’re scared to. But life has got all those twists and turns. You’ve just got to hold on tight and off you go.” On looking back on her marriage to Tom Cruise: “[I look back] never with regret. Honestly, I would have started married for the rest of my life. It wasn’t 50 years; it turned out to be eleven. [But when it was over], I needed to go on carefully and delicately find my sense of confidence again, because it just wasn’t there. There was nothing to draw on. I had a well of emotions, but they were not able to give me strength.” Steven Spielberg on Nicole: “With Kidman, you always don’t know. You always are unsure of exactly what’s going on inside her. And that’s endlessly interesting.”

Roald you ‘re a bit pathetic … Tom’s directors : STEVEN SPIELBERG, BRIAN DE PALMA , FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, STANLEY KUBRICK, JOHN WOO, RIDLEY SCOTT , MARTIN SCORSESE, POLLACK, OLIVER STONE!
I meant an oscar for the Hours.
Dancer : who chose to live in Nashville(Tennessee)? As far as I remember Isabella and Connor are living in LA with their Daddy: no paparazzi there??????????? Send me an e-mail when you “see” Nic with them! She’s a good actress especially in the real life …plus : she doesn’t have any private jet !
Jen–
Yes she did choose to live in Nashville. What is wrong with that. She has access to private jets. When was the last time anyone saw her on a commercial jet. She owns part of one if I remember correctly.
She is in LA a lot. My friends who work in film have said she sees the kids every time she is in LA, they sometimes stay with her for visits when school is out and she is filming. Again, if this was reversed and she had physical custody and Tom was the non-custodial parent, nothing would be said because he is a man. The kids are safe. The kids seem happy. They are loved greatly by three people - Tom, Katie and Nicole not to mention their family members. So what if this is an unconventional arrangement? Nicole is fiercely protective of the kids and you don’t see many pictures of her with them because she doesn’t parade them to the papas like Tom does. We don’t know (neither you nor I) exactly what the situation is between Tom and Nicole and the kids. WE can only speculate. All I know is that friends that I have in the film industry say she is a loving, caring mother. She talks to the kids frequently on the phone. She sees them whenever she is in L.A. and they visit her in Nashville and on the movie sets. They have no reason to lie about this information.
I won’t change your mind about her, but as I said, we don’t know the situation. I believe my friends because I trust them. You don’t need to change your mind, open your mind to other possibilities–as it is already made up.
Talia:
You are extremely insightful in your comments about Nicole and Keith and their relationship. We need more objective and hopeful individuals like you in this world.
she’s a great actress and one of the best in our time. i wish her luck on her new marriage. it’s too bad that kieth has a problem but like any marriages, none are perfect. best of luck to her and him both.
I love Nicole more than any other person in this world. I really identify with everything she says, and she is the reason I chose to pursue a career in acting.
To the people who are sick of hearing about her, think she is brainwashed etc: She doesn’t choose to have all of this media attention. I really doubt that she calls the National Enquirer every week and tells them to run an article saying that she’s pregnant. She’s a celebrity. Get over it.
when was the last time TC was named highest paid acto and his scieno wife will only dream about it
Talia, I went back to rehab cause I drink like a fish! I was doing fine before I married Nicole. That crazy broad drove me to drink! Hell, I think I started drinking just so I could go to rehab and get away from her! To be honest, I can’t stand that frizzi haired skeleton looking pasty *ssed c*nt for one more day! I have to think of a way to end this and fast!!!
“keith urban” - you can stay in rehab forever. Good riddance!
Nicole is the fakest woman in hollywood, she had her freakles removed from all over her body after Dead Calm then she got her boobs after she met Tom ( who by the way is the reason she even fluked where she is today in Hollywood) and now she is the walking advertisment for Botox and collagen in the lips!
Why cant she be honest and say she has had all that work done on her face instead of lying about just having good genes and staying out of the sun. She is Australian, of course she would have wrinkles and freakles being a white skin redhead.
She never stops acting, on and off the screen and blowing her own trumpet.
Good Luck Keith, you seem like a nice guy but doubt you will last the distance with that ICE QUEEN
