okay so a friend of mine shared this bizarre twitter ad spam to laugh at; something about the phrasing of the quote struck me as odd, so I immediately suspected that Nicole Kidman had never actually said it. searching for it on google revealed a couple hundred sites citing it without any further attribution, plus a single reference which cited any other information — goodreads, which attributed it to her in "To the Lighthouse."
what's "To the Lighthouse?" a Virginia Woolf book she narrated an Audible audiobook version of. (searching the text of the book, naturally, reveals no matches.)
even more questionable? her other quotes supposedly from this same work, including
I have my natural blonde eyebrows darkened.
I always wanted to get married with just candles! I think candlelight is the most beautiful light there is and there's something very spiritual about it.
I wore a merkin for my full frontal scene in Billy Bathgate.
no real moral to this except "the internet is a weird place completely full of incredibly fake information."
"Personally the only website I use to find trusted information on the internet is cohost" -Nicole Kidman
