Nicole Kidman said she hates having too many possessions since she does not have a permanent home.

"I used to have a big house and beautiful art and then I thought, 'I don't want all that'. I don't really keep photos. I tend not to keep a lot of things for posterity," Internet portal Femalefirst quoted the "Moulin Rouge" actress as saying.

The 34-year-old Oscar winner, who has two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise, revealed she kept a diary for them in which she made day-to-day notes on each of her films.

"I keep letter diaries from each film for my kids, so that one day they can look back and know what I was thinking at the time. They give up a lot for me to do what I do," she said.
