 Nicole Kidman Quotation"Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it. Sometimes I try to downplay it a bit because people are like, 'God you guys.' I just feel so fortunate that I have found someone who will put up with me and stay with me." - on her marriage to Tom Cruise - August 2000 [On husband Tom Cruise] "I wouldn't want to be married to me, but luckily he does." "Now I can wear heels." [commenting on her break-up with Tom Cruise - August 2001] "It's so bizarre, I'm not scared of snakes or spiders. But I'm scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!" And I am standing in front of my mother, And my WHOLE life I have wanted to make my mother proud. And now I'm going to make my daughter proud. (On winning the Academy Award for "The Hours") "When I heard about the Suzanne role in To Die For, I thought, 'I'll never get it - it'll be offered to someone else.' So I called Gus [Van Sant] at home, and he took my call, thank God. I told him I'd seen Drugstore Cowboy, and I really wanted to work with him. I said I was destined to work with him." "I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine." "These different people that I play become the loves of my life." The split from Tom Cruise left me very fragile but I'd love to marry again. "I would love to have boobs and a butt like Jennifer Lopez but I'm not having surgery so there it is" I've never been so excited to have people walk all over me for the rest of my life. (On receiving her star on the Walk of Fame) "You want to take some responsibility in your choices so that it sets the groundwork for that next generation of actresses - so for me doing Lars von Trier, I would hope that says to another generation: 'go and seek out those directors, it's ok'." On Dogville: "One day it would be a fairytale, the next it was a nightmare. Lars was gentle with me - he was gentle and soft, then he would beat me up emotionally when he felt he needed that. I did not always register what was happening until afterwards but you shouldn't have too much awareness as an actor, I don't think." "I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine." As a backdrop for a thriller, it's fantastic, but also since I'm Australian and I've always worked internationally and this is an international place in New York, I really like the kind of communication it represents. I know I sound very much like my character now, but I do believe in this place. [on filming 'The Interpreter' at the UN Headquarter in New York] It's weird because they're all coming out at once. But I made them over two-and-a-half years. [on 'Cold Mountain', 'The Human Stain' and 'Dogville' being released within months of each other.] You look at somebody's work as an actor and you can see their emotional life being fed into it and you can kind of feel them through it. That's far more interesting than anything I could say about where I'm at or who I'm with. It's good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it. It's a comedy. We hope. (on the troubled 'The Stepford Wives') "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." Movie Title: Days of Thunder (1990) as Dr. Claire Lewicki: Dr. Claire Lewicki : You and Rowdy have the same illness, it's called denial and it's probably going to kill you both. Dr. Claire Lewicki : Boy, you're very quick. Cole Trickle : You oughta see me drive. Dr. Claire Lewicki : Tell me what you love so much about racing. Cole Trickle : Speed. To be able to control it. To know that I can control something that's out of control. Dr. Claire Lewicki : Control is an illusion, you infantile egomaniac. Nobody knows what's gonna happen next: not on a freeway, not in an airplane, not inside our own bodies and certainly not on a racetrack with 40 other infantile egomaniacs. Movie Title: The Peacemaker (1997) as Julia Kelly / Julia: Julia Kelly : You will not take action without authorization. Devoe : What do you think I am, some gung-ho, stupid son of a bitch? Julia Kelly : No, I don't think you're stupid. Julia : Where the hell is my military liason? Devoe : Colonel Thomas Devoe reporting as ordered, ma'am. I'm sorry about in there, sometimes my enthusiasm gets the better of me. Julia : No problem. Would you like some coffee? Devoe : I'd love some. Julia : It's over there. Julia Kelly : So do you think he set us up? Thomas Devoe : Who? Julia Kelly : Your friend. Thomas Devoe : No. Julia Kelly : How can you be so sure? Thomas Devoe : Because he's my friend. Thomas Devoe : Doctor, you can run your charts and your theories all you want. In the field, this is how it works: the good guys, that's us, we chase the bad guys. And they don't wear black hats. They are, however, all alike: they demand power, and respect, and they're willing to pay top dollar to get it. And that is our highly motivated buyer. Julia Kelly : What about other motivations? Thomas Devoe : Not important to me. Julia Kelly : Whether it's important to you or not, there are people out there who don't care about money, who don't give a damn about respect. People who believe the killing of innocent men and women is justified. For them it is about rage, frustration, hatred... they feel pain and they're determined to share it with the world. Thomas Devoe : Okay, that does me no good. Now let's deal with the facts at hand. 23 hours ago, General Alexander Kodoroff stole ten nuclear warheads. Julia Kelly : He's just a delivery boy. I'm not afraid of the man who wants ten nuclear weapons, Colonel. I'm terrified of the man who only wants one. [Devoe wants to take a team into Russia while they know where the bombs are.] Julia Kelly : The Russians say they are handling it. Thomas Devoe : The Russians couldn't find snow in the middle of fucking winter. Look, it's this simple. When that satellite is out of range, those nukes are gone. [pause] Thomas Devoe : It's only jet fuel. Thomas Devoe : I'd like to know something. You moved from Lawrence Livermore to the White House. So, first you build the bombs to blow up the entire world, and now you want to save it. Make up your mind: which is it going to be? Julia Kelly : Well, I believe this week we're saving it. Julia Kelly : Would you call Langley? We're still waiting on a psych profile on Kodorov. Thomas Devoe : He's an asshole. Save you the trip. Julia Kelly : Thanks, I'll settle for the official version. Thomas Devoe : OK, officially -- he's an asshole! Julia Kelly : That's your plan? That's your fucking plan? Thomas Devoe : It doesn't make sense. You don't... you don't kill a Dimitri Vertikoff. There are certain rules - killing him isn't useful. Julia Kelly : Is it ever? Movie Title: Far and Away (1992) as Shannon Christie: [about Grace] Shannon Christie : She's got an awfully large Chest to be going to church. Joseph Donnelly : Well, All Chests are equal in the eyes of God. Shannon Christie : No. Joseph, please don't leave me. Please. I loved you. I loved you from the first time I saw you.

Nadia : My name's not Nadia. Nadia : You can't hurt me more than I'm hurt already. John : Well, Nadia, It it's all the same to you, I'd like to give it a bash. Nadia : My name is Sophia. John : Sophia. Hello, Sophia. Mine's still John. Nadia : Hello, John. Alexei : What would we do with a baby? Sophia : Think of a name for it. Movie Title: Dogville (2003) as Grace: Grace : There's a family with kids. Do the kids and make the mother watch. Tell her you'll stop if she can hold back her tears. I *owe* her that. Grace : Some things you have to do yourself. Grace : Goodbye, Tom. Chuck: God only knows what that woman is capable of. Grace : You know she's not capable of anything. [Tom offers a piece of bread to Grace] Tom : You want to eat? You must be hungry. Grace : I can't. I don't deserve that bread. I stole that bone. I've never stolen anything before. So now, now I have to punish myself. I was raised to be arrogant. So, I... I had to teach myself these things. Tom : Well, it may be for your education. Grace, in this town... In these times... It's very impolite not to eat what's set before you. Grace : But I've got nothing to offer them in return. Tom : Oh, I think you have plenty to offer Dogville. Grace : All I see is a beautiful little town in the midst of magnificant mountains. A place where people have hopes and dreams even under the hardest conditions. [After Chuck sees Grace teaching his kids] Chuck: How is it going otherwise with the fooling act? Grace : I wasn't trying to fool anyone. Chuck: I mean Dogville. Has it got you fooled yet? Grace : I thought you were implying that I was trying to exploit the town. Chuck: Wishful thinking. This town is rotten from the inside out and I wouldn't miss it if it fell into the gorge tomorrow. I see no charm here. But you seem to. Admit it, you've fallen for Dogville. The trees, the mountains, the simple folk. And if all that ain't got you fooled yet, I bet the cinnamon has. That damned cinnamon in those gooseberry pies. Dogville has everything that you ever dreamed of in the big city. Grace : You're worse than Tom. How do you know what I dreamed of? You're from the city yourself, aren't you? Chuck: That was a long time ago. I'm not that stupid anymore. I've found out that people are the same all over. Greedy as animals. In a small town they're just a bit less successful. Feed 'em enough, they'll eat till their bellies burst. Grace : That's why you want to get rid of me... Because you can't stand that I remind you of what it was you came here to find. Movie Title: Batman Forever (1995) as Dr. Chase Meridian: Dr. Chase Meridian : Hot entrance! Batman : Commissioner Gordon? Dr. Chase Meridian : He's at home. I sent the signal. Batman : What's wrong? Dr. Chase Meridian : Last night, at the bank, I noticed something about Two-Face. His coin. It's his Achilles' heel. It can be exploited. Batman : I know. You called me here for this? The Batsignal is not a beeper. Dr. Chase Meridian : Well I wish I could say that my interest in you was... purely professional. Batman : You trying to get under my cape, doctor? Dr. Chase Meridian : A girl can't live by psychoses alone. Batman : It's the car, right? Chicks love the car. Dr. Chase Meridian : What is it about the wrong kind of man? In grade school it was guys with earrings. College, motorcycles, leather jackets. Now, *oh*, black rubber. Batman : Try firemen, less to take off. Dr. Chase Meridian : I don't mind the work. Pity I can't see behind the mask. Batman : We all wear masks. Dr. Chase Meridian : My life's an open book. You read? Batman : I don't blend in at a family picnic. Dr. Chase Meridian : Oh, we could give it a try. I'll bring the wine, you bring your scarred psyche. Batman : Direct aren't you? Dr. Chase Meridian : You like strong women. I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip? Batman : I haven't had that much luck with women. Dr. Chase Meridian : Maybe you just haven't met the right woman. Batman : I read your work. Insightful. Naive, but insightful. Dr. Chase Meridian : I'm flattered. Not every girl makes a superhero's night table. Dr. Chase Meridian : He'll slaughter them without thinking twice. Batman : Agreed. A trauma powerful enough to create an alternate personality leaves the victim... Dr. Chase Meridian : - in a world where normal rules of right and wrong no longer apply. Batman : Exactly. Dr. Chase Meridian : Like you. - Well, let's just say that I could write a hell of a paper on a grown man who dresses like a flying rodent. Batman : Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian. Dr. Chase Meridian : By the way, do you have a first name, or do I just call you Bat? Dr. Chase Meridian : [talking to the shadow] ) Edward, who is Batman?

I'm not one of those who can easily hide. Is this ok? Is this what you want? Satine : Ah, poetry. Yes, this it what I want naughty words. Christian : I don't have much money but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live. If I were a sculptor, but then again, no. Or a man who makes potions a traveling show. I know it's not much... Satine : Oh Naughty, don't stop, don't stop. Christian : But it's the best I can do. [sings] Christian : My gift is my song. And this one's for you.

[A tall stranger drinks from Alice's wine glass] Alice Harford : Umm, I think that's my glass. Sandor Szavost : I'm absolutely certain of it. Sandor Szavost : Don't you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties? May I ask why a beautiful woman who could have any man in this room wants to be married? Alice Harford : Why wouldn't she? Sandor Szavost : Is it as bad as that? Alice Harford : As good as that! [Alice questions her husband] Alice Harford : Hmmm, tell me something, those two girls at the party last night. Did you, by any chance, happen to fuck them? Alice Harford : So, because I'm a beautiful woman, the only reason any man wants to talk to me is because he wants to fuck me? Is that what you're saying? Alice Harford : Millions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women... women it is just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else! Dr. Bill Harford : A little oversimplified, Alice, but yes, something like that. Alice Harford : If you men only knew... Alice Harford : ...And at no time did he ever leave my mind.

I rather liked him even though he never said anything much. I used to... close my eyes... and sit on a chair... and let him touch me all over... as long as he promised not to take anything off. I thought it was so exquisitely daring I'd almost faint. I'd have to sit down because I was trembling so much, my legs would've given way. Afterwards I'd be reading the lesson, convinced all the teachers must know because... because I was so shivery delicious all over. Thandiwe Adjewa : I'm amazed.

Gillian Owens : [possessed by Jimmy Angelov's spirit; crying] He wants me... just me. Everyone will be all right. Let him take me... Sally Owens : Don't die on me, Gillian Owens. Movie Title: Cold Mountain (2003) as Ada: Ada : What we have lost will never be returned to us. The land will not heal - too much blood. All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it. Inman : You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place. Ada : But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments. Inman : A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. You were always carrying a tray. Ada : You wouldn't come inside. Inman : I wouldn't come inside. Ada : I had to carry a tray to come out and see you. Inman : The way you felt when I pulled you to me. That kiss- which I kissed again everyday of my walking. Ada : Everyday of my waiting... Ada : I will not leave Cold Mountain. My last thread of courage is to wait... for you. Ada : If you are fighting, stop fighting. If you are marching, stop marching. Come back to me. Come back to me is my request. Ada : I brought you this book... and this photo. I'm not smiling in it. I don't know how to do that... hold a smile. Ada : I can talk about farming... in Latin. I can read French. I can lace up a corset, God knows I can do that. I can name the major rivers in Europe, just don't ask me about anything around here. I can embroider but I can't darn. I can arrange flowers but I can't grow them. Ada : When this war is over, there will be a reckoning. [first lines] Ada : [voiceover] Dear Mr. Inman, I began by counting the days, then the months. I don't count on anything anymore except the hope that you will return, and the silent fear that in the years since we saw each other, this war, this awful war, will have changed us both beyond all reckoning. Ada : Inman. It is three years and I remember your name. Ada : I would have followed you anywhere... to Mongolia. Ada : Yesterday I saw you walking back to me. Ada : I count the number of words that have passed between us, Inman and me - not very many. But I think about it. Ada : Ruby, this fence may be the first thing I ever did that might produce a result. Ada : My love where are you? With no hope of reaching you I write to you... as I have always done. Inman : Ada, I wanna marry you. If you'll have me. Ada : Isn't there some religion where you just say I marry you, three times, and then you're man and wife. Inman : I marry you, I marry you, I marry you. [Ada laughs] Inman : Why is that funny? Ada : No, I think it's I divorce you three times and then you're not married anymore. Inman : This doesn't come out right. If it were enough to stand, without the words. Ada : It is, it is. Inman : Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that? Ada : [to Inman] But then who will be waiting for you? Ada : Hello, I'm Ada Monroe. Inman : I'm Inman. Ada : Inman? Inman : W.P. Inman. Ada : [repeats it] W.P. Inman. Inman : Repeating a thing doesn't improve it. Please call me Inman. Ada : Are you alive? I pray to god you are. Ruby : We got something for you. Ada : For all your kindness. Coffee and pie. Ruby : That's real coffee. It ain't chicory and dirt. Sally : Thank you both. Ruby, I look forward to this. We all do. Esco and me. Ruby : [grinning at Ada] She made it. Ada : I made it. Sally : Good God in Heaven. Ruby : I'm still alive! Ada : If you saw us this Easter... you would know that every step of your journey is worth it. [from trailer] Ada : Come back to me. Come back to Cold Mountain. Ada : Did you get a picture made? Inman : Say again? Ada : A tintype, with your gun and courage on display. Inman : You're laughing at me. Ada : I don't know you. Inman : You're always carrying a tray. Ada : [to Inman] Well, you have your war. Ruby : [yelling] Ada? Ada? You up? Ada : Yes. It's still dark. Ruby : Tell that to the cows. It's late! Ada : [to her father] Daddy, come inside before you drown! Ada : I have to eat something. Ruby : Then you have to wake up earlier. What's that? Ada : A novel. Ruby : You want to carry a book, carry one you can write in. Ruby : What kind of name's Georgia? Ada : It's where he's from, it's not his name. Ruby : I know that's meant to be the ugliest state under the heavens. Ada : What do you care what his name is? Ruby : I hope that Georgia boy's been seeing to the animals. Ada : I thought you were thinking on him! Ruby : I was not. I was thinking on swollen udders- and before you say same difference. Ada : I'm not saying nothing! Ruby : Miss lovely-dovey! [last lines] Ada : [voiceover] I looked once more down Sally's well, and this time there was nothin' there to haunt me. Just clouds. Clouds, and then... sun. |
