Nicole Kidman almost chose Nashville farm life over Hollywood career

Kidman, 57, contemplated throwing in the towel after giving birth to her first child with husband Keith Urban in 2008.

"And I'm like, 'No, no. I'm done now. I'm done.'"

However, Kidman's mom was insistent with her advice.

"She's going, 'Just listen to me. I think keep moving forward. Not saying you have to do it to the level you've been doing it, but I wouldn't give it up completely.'"

Kidman is just a regular "citizen" when she's at home in Tennessee with her children and husband.

The Oscar Award-winning actress can be found contributing to her community by buying diapers for a school donation drive or visiting a local children's hospital.

Outside of her Tennessee home, Kidman is known as one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood. She is famous for her roles in "Being the Ricardos," "Cold Mountain" and "Moulin Rouge!". The actress also launched her own production company, Blossom Films, in 2010. The company is behind projects such as "Rabbit Hole," "Big Little Lies," "The Undoing," "Nine Perfect Strangers" and, most recently, "Expats."

Kidman was also recently named an ambassador for Balenciaga and attended the New York premiere of "Expats" dressed in Atelier Versace.

"It feels a little unreal at times," she told Elle. "I want to get out, take my dress off, and put my jammies on. It's kind of like the opposite of Cinderella - I'm happy to go home and just go back to me. It does feel a little overwhelming. I'm like, 'I need to go home now. I'm very tired. I want to get warm, and I want to curl up, and I want to feel real.'"

Kidman is a mom to four kids. She shares her two daughters - Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret - with Urban. The actress also shares two kids, Bella and Connor, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
