'I suppose the artist spirit, a lot of times, is saying, "I don’t care what it’s gonna cost me as a human being, because my thrust is deeply artistic,"' Kidman explains.
'And that’s probably just a massive push-pull in any person who’s a painter, a writer, you know?' she added, contemplatively.
'If you’re really dedicated to it over a lifetime, that push-pull will collide with your existence and your connections with your family and all the people in your life. How much will that cost them? How much will it cost you personally? And how important is that artistic contribution?' she added.
