But being in a relationship with another artist can be a support structure, Nicole adds.

She says: "I think there is a reason people who are artistic are drawn to each other, there is an inherent understanding. But at the same time you don’t choose who you fall in love with."

Kidman opens her heart to Crowe - Feb 24 2007
Nicole Kidman opened up about marriage and kids to friend Russell Crowe on Oprah Winfrey’s televised Oscar special on Thursday night.

When Russell asked her about her marriage to country singer Keith Urban, the 39-year-old actress replied, "Keith is doing very well We’ve been through a lot."

And, as Russell began to ask her another question, the famously private actress continued, "Let me finish that because that will be seen as a superficial answer and I don’t like to give those."

"We’ve dug really deep," she added candidly. "Three months into our marriage we had to dig really deep. And that’s what we are doing. We’re in the process of doing that."

Crowe, a long-time friend of Nicole’s, sympathised with the actress adding: "Very courageous of him to just pack up his toothbrush and go into rehab. He must have you at the very forefront of everything he’s thinking."

"You’ll make me cry now - stop it," replied Nicole, adding that she’d love to have a baby with Keith, who she wed in June 2006.

"Am I going to have a baby? I hope so," she told Russell.

Nicole Kidman crashes while filming - Jan 26 2007
Nicole Kidman was taken to a hospital after the Jaguar she was driving crashed during shooting of the science fiction thriller The Invasion, police said.

Kidman, 39, was examined then released two hours later, her publicist, Catherine Olim, said.

"I think she’s OK," Olim said, adding it was unclear whether the actress went home or returned to the set to resume shooting of the Warner Bros movie.

The Jaguar was being towed by a camera rig that skidded while taking a corner at about 45mph, causing Kidman’s car to hit a pole, Olim said.

The actress and a young boy in the car were wearing seat belts, Olim said. It was believed the young boy was a stunt person.

"The stunt driver apparently went off course and hit a (lamp) post," police officer Karen Smith said.

Eight people, including Kidman, stuntmen and cameramen, were taken to hospitals for examination and were released, Smith said.

The Oscar-winning actress stars in the film as a Washington psychiatrist who unearths the origin of an alien epidemic.

She was trying to escape zombie-like characters on the hood of the Jaguar when the crash occurred, Olim said.

Warner Bros spokeswoman Jan Craft’s office said a statement would be released later.

Keith out of rehab? - Dec 4 2006
It looks like Keith Urban’s in-patient spell in rehab may have come to an end after he was reportedly spotted out at LA’s trendy Polo Lounge having brunch with his wife, Nicole Kidman.

Nicole and her country singer husband of five months were last spotted together on November 12 as they strolled outside the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs where Keith has been undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse.

Keith checked himself in to attend a rehabilitation program on October 19 and was expected to stay for 35-40 days.

The singer’s rep told Us Weekly magazine that he is "still undergoing treatment".

Nicole and Keith, both 39, met at a Hollywood event honouring Australians in January 2005.
