Nicole Kidman is still "so, so passionate" about her work

Nicole, 57, told E! News: "I'm just still so, so passionate about what I do. I love acting, and I love being with people that are so inspiring. And a great script is a great script."

Nicole is happy to maintain a jam-packed work schedule in spite of her fame and success. The acclaimed actress insisted she's still "incredibly grateful" for the opportunities that come her way.

Asked about avoiding burnout, Nicole explained: "I don't think it's burnout. It's more staying in a place of just [being] incredibly grateful for opportunities and the ability to work with people that I love."

Nicole recently admitted that she's been happy to take "bold risks" in her career.

Asked if Hollywood has become more open to risks, Nicole told Vanity Fair's 2025 Hollywood Issue: "I suppose I don't think of that. I just go, 'This is the road I'm on, and whatever happens happens'.

"If it's seen as a risk, I'll take these risks. And if they're bold risks, then I'll take those risks, but I'm not going to hang too much on that because fear can set in. That's very, very destructive to the expression and the desire."

Nicole subsequently conceded that working in Hollywood can be a "rollercoaster" experience.

The actress explained: "Everything's hard now. Actually everything.

"I mean, maybe not 'Deadpool', but there's nothing that's, 'Oh my gosh. Yep. This is it. Greenlight, let's go.' Or maybe it's just the things that I do.

"I just think that's the nature of what we're dealing with now. Things are shrinking in terms of shows being done and films being made. I definitely feel it. I'm sure most people in the industry feel it. I know the crews feel it. I know writers feel it."
