I am a woman, and I can speak as a mother, daughter, wife, producer, actress; in short, I can move in different spaces and use a well of emotions and experiences to express my voice. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I choose roles and people to collaborate with very carefully. This is why I wanted to work with Susanne Bier or Lulu Wang, I find their points of view remarkable. I just shot a film, &#8216;Holland&#8217; , with a young director, Mimi Cave, who has her own unique voice, and now, on the &#8216;Scarpetta&#8217; series, I am working again with a magnificent Franco-Swedish woman, Charlotte Brandstrom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Nicole will limit herself to only telling female-led stories. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe Best Actress Oscar winner will not politicise her decisions and will always be led on whether the story affects her on an emotional level.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Kidman has vowed to continue her habit of being courageous about the film and TV work she accepts.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;It&#8217;s not an ideological choice, I go where my heart takes me, I don&#8217;t politicise my decisions. I follow my instinct, I act if I feel in tune with the stories to tell, if they interest me on a personal level.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So it is not necessarily a question of male or female choices: I have always been attracted to people with different and complex perspectives, from worlds, countries and cultures of all kinds. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I want to remain courageous, not close myself, off but participate. I try. I never back down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/feel-tune-womens-stories-nicole-kidman-explains-motivation-working-female-directors-1413758.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 February 2025 Nicole Kidman wants to work with female directors because she feels &#8220;in tune with women&#8217;s stories&#8221; as a &#8220;mother, daughter, wife, producer and actress&#8221;.
