Nicole Kidman doesn't usually open up in interviews, but she apparently made an exception for British GQ. Nicole talked about her relationships, love and her experimentation with kinky sex fetish practices. The Daily Mail has excerpts from the interview in which Nicole says her life has been about exploring different kinds of love.
'I've explored obsession. I've explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I've explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I've explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy,' she said.
But while she confessed she had previously experienced the 'mundane' side of relationships, she described her present marriage as 'raw' and 'dangerous'.
'You work on it,' she said. 'It's a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you're very much out at sea. You're exposed. You could drown.

'When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision.'
Miss Kidman opened up about her love life in a new interview with GQ magazine.
The Oscar-winning film star admitted that her marriage to Cruise had been responsible for her rise to fame and revealed that her agents had told her not to tie the knot with the Days Of Thunder star.
'I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody,' she told GQ.
'I did a lot of good, worthwhile work in Australia between the ages of 14 and 19 and then I married someone famous. And really, despite the huge profile that brought to me, I was still finding my feet.
'I know my agents at the time were like "Do not get married! It will ruin your career!" and I was like "But I'm in love". All I know is that I wasn't someone interested in fame. And that's not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me.'
Nicole has always kept diaries and journals but she burned most of them when she married Keith Urban. She also refused to talk about the end of her marriage to Tom Cruise and says she never will discuss the details. She says that it's a mistake to look at the film Eyes Wide Shut for clues to why their marriage went wrong that they were actually happily married during that time period.
We think she looks great with her natural red hair color again. As for the fetish stuff, Nic's not naming names.
