For its 10th anniversary, Australian Harpers Bazaar staged a photo shoot of Nicole Kidman as Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot. Nicole is on the cover for the 101st issue. Shot in December when Nicole was filming Baz Luhrmann's epic Australia, the photoshoot shows a voluptuous Nicole. She looks absolutely gorgeous. In the interview she talks about fashion, her lack of self-confidence and her married life:
On her fashion style: "I'm not so into fashion now as I used to be. Now I know what I like and what makes me feel good so I've grown up, I suppose, and I'm happy with where I am. I don't put as much thought into all that stuff anymore because then it doesn't seem spontaneous enough. Now I look at fashion as an expression of where you are in that time in your life and sometimes it's less, and sometimes it's more."
On her lack of self-confidence: "My nature is not one of enormous confidence and I'm not saying that out of any martyrdom for sympathy or compliments, but it's just one of my struggles in life. I love what I do but I'm the type of actress that when I get offered a role, I come up with 10 other actresses who I think would be better for it. I tried to do that with The Others but my agents were like, 'Stop, be quiet!'"
About slowing down her film career:
"I'm just really focusing on this new stage in my life and I feel really blessed to be pregnant and having this baby."
On being married to Keith Urban: "I think it's important to be able to share your life with someone and I've experienced many things in my life but for me I've always wanted to have my best friend who will walk the journey of life with me and I've found him."
