News of her separation from her husband first made headlines last week, shortly after which the "Babygirl" star filed for divorce. In a recently published interview, the actress hinted — ever so subtly — at their split.

Nicole Kidman is moving forward. The Hollywood star recently appeared in a new Vogue Magazine issue set to hit stands this November. During her interview for the spread, she opened up about taking risks in her career.

"Taking a risk is what I've always done," she told journalist Wendell Steavenson in August, adding that she does not dwell on mistakes. "You get back up and you try again and you learn."

By this time, Kidman and her estranged husband, Keith Urban, had already been separated. Reports suggest the two had split around the beginning of summer, in June, though Kidman only filed for divorce at the end of September.

"How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn't going in that direction?" Kidman reflected.

The actress shared that she has built a solid support system in Nashville, where she has lived since marrying Urban. In her circle, she includes her "Big Little Lies" co-star Reese Witherspoon. "Ride-or-die friendships. Oh, yeah," she remarked.

When it comes to the highs and lows of life — the loss and the pain — Kidman said she channels it all into her artistic process. "I put it in my work," she said. "That's the beauty of what I do. There's a place for some of this to explode, implode, process, discover."
