Washington, Dec 6 : Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman is not worried about getting old, instead she insists that entering 40s has made her braver.

While the 41-year-old actress had to face extreme conditions during her shoot for Baz Luhrmann''s epic Australia, she is adamant being mature has helped her cope with the tough time.

In an interview with The Independent, the Oscar winner revealed that she has become more courageous with age.

"The older I get, the more I feel like I''m on a roller-coaster when I do a film... I''m much more brave, and kind of throw myself into it and try not to worry if I fall flat on my face,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling.

"It''s easy to become frightened of making a fool of yourself, particularly if, like mine, your nature is a bit reticent and shy to begin with. But I''m getting over it," she added.
