'I Needed to Get a Life'
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kidman recounts her attempts to bear a child with Tom Cruise and the loneliness she felt when she won the Best Actress Oscar in 2003: "It felt big. It felt lonely and big. You're in a hotel and you're like, okay well, I'm sitting in this big suite with an Oscar, and I still don't have a life. What is wrong with me? It hit home that I needed to get a life. Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?"

Historic Heroine
Kidman stars in the HBO film Hemingway & Gellhorn as Martha Gellhorn, a fearless World War II journalist and third wife of Ernest Hemingway, played by Clive Owen. The movie highlights the romantic yet tumultuous relationship between the novelist and his publicly revered lover. "Her main thrust as a woman was not as a mother or a wife," the actress tells USA Today. "It was as a career woman, a journalist and a war correspondent, and I think that was important for her,that she was recognized as that. We need women like that in the world."
