Hollywood star Nicole Kidman says she ''played it safe'' with her career in the past but now always looks for roles that will challenge her. The actor said she is happy to make ''spontaneous and random'' decisions now, reported Contactmusic.

''I think maybe I played it a little safe in the past, and went for the work I thought I was meant to do, which spoke to the idea of what and who an actress is supposed to be. But, for the most part, I've followed my spirit, which motivates me to go against the grain.
