Dec. 18 -- Jude Law, who co-stars with Nicole Kidman in the new movie Cold Mountain, says if he could give Kidman one gift, it would be a beach in Fiji.

Kidman embraces the idea, but won't explain further. "That's a secret," she told Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer. "But he's right. Absolutely right."

Reports are that Kidman has orchestrated a utopia-like South Pacific Christmas: a Fiji resort reserved exclusively for her family, including her ex-husband Tom Cruise, and his girlfriend Penelope Cruz.

Kidman's own relationship with rocker Lenny Kravitz remains a question mark. Kidman has said in the past that she would give up "everything," including her career, if she could have a wonderful relationship.

She certainly has a great career, but what about the relationship?

"I can't answer that. I don't know," Kidman said. "I would love to be able to walk away from all of this into, sort of, I suppose, a different stage of my life, and I hope that that does happen."

But Kidman didn't want to talk about her relationship to Kravitz. "I don't mean to be impolite," she said.

"Oh, go for it," urged Sawyer.

"Oh, all right," Kidman said. "Shove off!"

Asked if she was enjoying a happy time in her life, Kidman said she believes happiness is not a constant for anyone. "I think it was put so succinctly in The Hours, where [it was asked], 'What is happiness?' And there [are] moments of happiness and then there's everything else in between, which gives you the appreciation of when there are those, those moments."

A Daydreamer, But No Airhead

Her latest project, Cold Mountain, is the tale of an awkward southern belle and her true love, set against the backdrop of the Civil War. Kidman plays Ada Monroe, a woman who spends a lot of time waiting, surviving, believing and growing wise.
