We're Not Alone

Reading Pink is the New Blog, I stumbled upon this quote from Nicole Kidman/Vanity Fair.

She admits she was "lonely" when she met Urban and tells of being alone after winning her best actress Oscar for The Hours. "You're in a hotel and you're like, 'Okay, well, I'm sitting in this big suite with an Oscar and I still don't have a life - what is wrong with me? Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?' That was painful, not having that person to share it with." Of Urban, 39, she adds: "I would probably say that two very lonely people managed to meet at a time when they could open themselves to each other. We were a mixture of frightened and brave."

Here she is, this beautiful woman with a successful career, two adopted children, and years of travel, events, attention… things we all dream about… and yet, all of that meant nothing when she was alone. None of those life experiences could complete her.

I don’t understand.
