New mom Nicole Kidman looks stunning on the cover of November's Elle and inside she dishes on motherhood, her new daughter Sunday Rose, husband Keith Urban and what she learned during her marriage to Tom Cruise. Here's a sneak peek at the interview hitting newsstands on October 14:

-On her protectiveness as a mother: “When it comes to my kids, I’m just like a lioness. I’m like, No one gets near my babies! That’s why we chose not to sell the photos of her. We just want to have our little cocoon.”

-On natural childbirth: “It was the most beautiful thing to go through with him [husband Keith Urban]. I had a great team of women, too. At one point there were nine women in the room and Keith.”

-On becoming a mother later in life: “At 41, it’s a more painful love. I look at that little girl, and I’m, like, 'Oh, no, what’s going to happen?' It’s almost like my heart is stretching; I’m feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion. It’s a beautiful love but there’s a lot of fear and pain for her life, and for Bella’s and Connor’s life. I like to believe that nothing was stopping Sunday from coming into the world.”

-On husband Keith Urban: “He’s the greatest man besides my dad I’ve ever met. He’s loyal and he’s a soul searcher. He’ll kill me for…He’s very very private.”

-On the lessons she learned during her first marriage to Tom Cruise: “That was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount – as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again.”
