Nicole Kidman is opening up about how she really wanted to have a bigger family, but "wasn't given that choice."

The 54-year-old actress spoke about motherhood during an interview published Friday by Marie Claire Australia.

"I wish I’d had more children, but I wasn’t given that choice," Kidman said. "I would’ve loved 10 kids."

"[It's] OK because I get to mother other children. I have six nieces and nephews and I’m godmother to 12," she also told the outlet. "I love mothering, I love kids: they’re quirky, funny and unfiltered. And then you get to see them grow and send them on their way."
