Nicole Kidman's Success is a Happy Accident  3/28/05

Actress Nicole Kidman insists her phenomenally successful movie career is merely an accident, because she never aimed to conquer Hollywood. The Oscar-winning Antipodean star has attracted millions of cinema-goers and won critical acclaim in movies such as Moulin Rouge and The Hours but she admits luck has played a major part in her meteoric rise to stardom. 

She says, "You can never be sure of anything. I'm incredibly fortunate to find these people in the world who operate on a similar wavelength to me and somehow it's also resulted in these occasional huge successes. "I'd love to say I knew what I was doing but my ability to know what I'm getting myself into is pretty limited."
