Nicole Kidman Graces Cover of Harper's Bazaar February 2011

Gracing one of the most sought after covers in the industry, Nicole Kidman is front and center in Harper's Bazaar February 2011 issue.

Hitting newsstands January 18, the Aussie actress opened up about a number of topics including "Just Go With It" co-star Jennifer Aniston, marriage, motherhood and the joy of lightening up.

On meeting Keith Urban: "I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I'd meet somebody, if not him, like him."

On motherhood: "I had kids at 25 and 27 [Isabella and Connor, Nicole's adopted children with first husband Tom Cruise]. I think I have more patience now but less physical energy. It's a trade-off: In your 20s, you're bounding around, they're attached at your hip, and you can just go and do anything. But I'm much more of a homebody now. My roots are deeper."

On moving to Nashville: "I love living a ways away. That's what I've worked for in my career, to not have to live in Los Angeles. So it was fortuitous that Keith happened to live in Tennessee. He brought me down to this place called Leipers Fork, just outside of Nashville, very lush and rural. I just went aaah. You know how you dream as a girl; I'm one of those people. I would meet a guy, then I would imagine myself married and with kids within the first hour. [Laughs] But it worked out."

In December Nicole Kidman and a handful of other Hollywood stars were announced as nominees for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. Up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, the Aussie beauty was nominated for her part in "Rabbit Hole". The upcoming drama film, which co-stars Aaron Eckhart, has Kidman portraying the role of a devastated young mother whose son has died in a car accident.

Following the official announcements, Nicole Kidman told press, "It took more than four years to get our little movie off the ground, and to be recognized for my work in a film that means so

  much to me is truly such an honor. Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press [Association] for your continued support."
