Nicole: (on turning 40) It feels just right. I don't feel what I thought that wretched age was going to be like. I have done a lot of things and it has been full up to this point, especially the past few years, so I am grateful for that.

Nicole: My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.
Nicole: It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult; really difficult and very brave.
Nicole: I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
Nicole: I think someone said my career defies all logic. Because I choose the sort of strange little films, and somehow they're the things that make my career.
Nicole: I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did.
Nicole: Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
