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'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.'

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

I want to go home at night and feel discomfort.

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.

My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.

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.

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.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.

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.

You don't have to be naked to be sexy.

What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching?

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.
