Nicole Kidman Discusses Her Role in ‘Babygirl’ at Venice Film Festival: ‘Its Important to Feel Safe’

I mean the thing is I approach everything artistically so I don't think of the minutia I just go how do I give over to this particular character at this time fully um without censoring my director um and that's why it is important to feel safe with them because I will just complete abandon um to the story to the nature of the character that I'm playing so I don't think about bodies per se I just think about how do we tell the story and what is the what is your vision for it and how do I help you and how do we get there and then we have big conversations obviously about the psychology of the character all of those things but what I'm bringing is just myself with openness and availability and I've always done that with directors and sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't but it's I don't know any other way I couldn't go into the environment protecting myself and being worried I have to just go okay what do you want to do here
