Nicole Kidman opens up about Tom Cruise

Nicole Kidman made headlines last week when she spoke an interview about how to get married.

And on her visit to TODAY Monday to promote her new film, "Boy Erased," she opened up even further to Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

"Because I was married at 23 years old, I was not going to parties or I was not going out a lot," she said. "I was pretty much at home, I was so married, I was so married, I was in a family, so I was working, I was at home."

Kidman and Cruise wed in 1990 and divorced in 2001; they have two children, Connor and Bella. She wed country musician Keith Urban in 2006; they also have two children, Faith and Sunday.

In the interview with New York magazine for their Women and Power issue, Kidman noted, "I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man kept me from being sexually harassed."

Guthrie quoted that line back to her and then asked, "Do you think people are afraid to mess with you, because he was so powerful?"

"When I say 'protection' is almost like a barrier," Kidman explained further. "A lot of women do not have that a lot of people in the world do not like that." and disrespectful to Keith, so much so. "

Power has a lot to do with it; In the initial interview, Kidman noted that "I still do not have a lot of power," and she expanded on that with TODAY.

"Am I able to be listened to at times? Yes," she said. "Am I able to instigate change? Sometimes. In my own industry, can I get movies made? Not all the time. controlling things? Not at all. "

She's still getting plenty of attention in Hollywood around awards season, though; Kidman does a moving turn in "Boy Erased" as a religious mother who comes to accept his son (played by Lucas Hedges) homosexuality.

"It deletes into the complication of it, but it also deletes into it with love," said Kidman. "This family is not fractured.

"Boy Erased" opens in theaters on November 2.
