Los Angeles, Aug 23 (TIWN) Actress Nicole Kidman says having her two youngest children helped her cope with the "frustration" of being an older woman in Hollywood.

Of her career, Kidman said: "I was frustrated - as so many women are in different careers - at the idea of being told, Well, that's it: you've passed through that period where it's all going to be fine, and now you're in your 40s we're not interested as much in your storytelling or your ideas or in who you are as a woman or a person." 

Speaking about having children with Urban, she said: "Our chance of having a baby was one percent. But my husband said, aWell, at least we've got a chance. I thought, '1 per cent isn't a chance'. But he was right. Their coming into my life was the flipside of losing someone - seeing that pregnancy test and wondering, 'What is this new person going to be like?' It's an amazing thing." 

Kidman also spoke about her time being single in between her marriages to actors Tom Cruise, whom she was married to from 1990 until 2001, and with whom she has adopted children Isabella, 28, and Connor, 26, reports femalefirst.co.uk.  She also spoke about Urban, whom she married in 2006.
