Nicole Kidman has been interviewed this week about being a spokesperson for a beauty product.
During the conversation with Harper’s Bazaar that was published on Thursday, the Australian actress talked about experiencing a lot and ‘surviving’ it.
The 58-year-old movie icon may have been addressing the heartbreak she is currently experiencing with her second husband, country singer Keith Urban, whom she has filed for divorce from after 19 years of marriage.
‘As I get older, I want to be able to share and impart the things I’ve learned. I’ve seen a lot, I’ve experienced a lot, and I’ve survived a lot,’ said the mother of four whose first husband was Tom Cruise.
Kidman then added: ‘I want to pass on some of that knowledge and that wisdom and whatever I’ve learned.’
And the part-time model also touched on moving past ‘pain’ and ‘devastation.’

When asked what the best part is about getting older she replied, ‘The experiences that you’ve accumulated.
‘So you go, “Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.” Or, “Maybe I haven’t been in this place, but I’ve experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it.”’
It sounds as if she is hinting that because she has been through a heartbreaking divorce before, with Cruise, she can handle the pain that comes with leaving Urban.
‘There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through. You’re going to have to feel it.
‘You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it’s going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly—and it can take an enormous amount of time—it does pass.’
The artist also said that she can often feel her age.
‘Sometimes I feel like I’m really, really, really old because I’ve had so many life experiences,’ shared the Oscar winner.

‘And then other times I feel like I’m still a little girl, like suddenly I feel like I’m five. I think there’s a sense of play that always feels available to me…I love dancing, playing, and being silly,’ noted the Babygirl star.
The close friend of Naomi Watts was then asked, ‘What keeps you feeling vibrant and energized?’
The red carpet fixture responded: ‘Life. Connection. People. Sharing ideas. And just actually being alive, I’m grateful to have that.
‘I’m grateful to be a part of this world. I’m grateful to be surviving as a woman, as an actress, and as a producer, professionally and personally.’
And she is dedicated to being a mother: ‘Also, my children [give me the] purpose of being their protector and their guide, promising them that I’m here and that, no matter what, there’s always a safe place to grow up in.’
