Bigs Quote by Nicole Kidman
![“[As a producer] [Big Little Lies] is the stories of women that I know, and it was a way in which we could go to other women and say, "Here's a great role. There's five great roles here. They're all complicated. They all deserve to be told, and are you interested?" And that is rare.” quote by Nicole Kidman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/231/nicole-kidman-1321_bigs_as-a-producer-big-little-lies-is-the-sto_1803467.jpg)
