Nicole Kidman almost gave up her acting career for life on the farm.

“And I was like, ‘No, no. I’m done. I’m done.'”

However, Kidman’s mother was insistent with her advice.
“She says, ‘Just listen to me. I think move on. I’m not saying you have to do it at the level you’ve been doing it, but I wouldn’t abandon it completely.'”
