Quotes: "I don't want to sound like a woman from a lonely heart's club and I don't want to advertise. The children are my priority. I take them around with me - movies or baseball games or local shows - and that's not so appealing for any new man on the scene, is it?" - Nicole Kidman

Why do you come to the Oscars when the world is in turmoil- because Art is important... at the same time you say there is a lot of problems in the world and since 9/11, with people losing family and now with the war... I just want to say God Bless you." - Nicole Kidman.
