When it comes to the creative process, everybody is different. One person needs to brainstorm with others, while another needs to be completely alone. One person can go to a coffee shop and tune out all the voices, while another needs quiet to hear their thoughts. <\/p>\n
Nicole Kidman\u2019s<\/a> life is busy. Whether she\u2019s spending time with her husband, Keith Urban, and family, off to a film festival or to make her next movie, she doesn\u2019t have much extra time in her days. So it is no surprise that she finds the best time to ignite her creativity is in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n She Opens Up About When She Does Her Best Writing<\/p>\n On May 18, Kidman received Kering\u2019s 10th Women in Motion award at the Cannes Film Festival. Before accepting the award, she spoke with Angelique Jackson<\/a>, revealing a bit about her nighttime writing rituals.<\/p>\n \u201cI do it at 3 a.m. \u2014 writing sessions,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI wake up and I\u2019ll write something. Be it a dream or something circulating in my head and my life and my heart at that time. I think 2 and 3 a.m. is a very, very ripe time for things to happen because you\u2019re in that slightly removed state from reality, but your dreams and your psyche are very, very there and very present.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI write down stuff a lot, I have ideas that I either then share with a director and go, \u2018why don\u2019t you go and create something in this vein\u2019 \u2014 and that just comes through decades and decades of life, and observing and working with some of the greatest minds,\u201d Kidman said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m very interested in philosophy and poetry. And so that, of course, is very, very helpful for, you know, creating a story.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut I also just don\u2019t quite have the time,\u201d she surmised.<\/p>\n So, can we expect to see any of Kidman\u2019s writing anytime soon? \u201cNo, but I always say \u2018No,\u2019 and then I turn around and change my mind,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n Kidman Says \u2018Practical Magic\u2019 Sequel is \u2018Fun and Witchy\u2019<\/p>\n Kidman briefly touched on Practical Magic 2<\/a>, which will be released in theaters on September 18, 2026. The original 1998 film was directed by Griffin Dunne, who told Variety<\/a> in 2024 that he would be an executive producer on the follow-up. The film sees Kidman and Sandra Bullock join forces with Susanne Bier for the sequel. Biers directed Kidman in The Undoing and The Perfect Couple, and Bullock in Bird Box. <\/p>\n \u201cSandy [Bullock] has worked with her, too, so the two of us were like, well, this is the perfect triangle because we all know each other so well and so to be able to work together on something that is fun and witchy, that\u2019s fun and it has something very different to say [than\u00a0Babygirl]. It\u2019s a complete flip, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to the creative process, everybody is different.
