I want to be reborn as a director: Nicole Kidman

London: Nicole Kidman says that if she had the chance to live her life once again she would be a director.

The `Australia` star insisted that though she is "very thrilled" to be an actress, but her first preference was always to be a filmmaker, Contactmusic reported. "I`d choose to be a director.
