The 'Big Little Lies' star feels it is important for all actors and actress to go out and find the roles they want rather than sit back and wait for them to come to her.
She said: "You can't sit around waiting for an email or a phone call offering you work! You have to make your own opportunities. And if you don't want to play the same old same old, then you do something about it."
And the 49-year-old actress feels she is "only just beginning" in her career.
Asked how she feels being the Queen of Cannes in an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper, she added: "I don't feel like the Queen of Cannes. I'm just a girl who got her feet wet at a party ... I feel as if I'm only just beginning."
Meanwhile, Nicole previously admitted she is getting "more work" than ever before.
She said: "I'm turning 50 this year and I've never had more work than right now. And that's partly because I work in television, I can work on films that are made to be shown on a small screen and I can work on films shown on a big screen. As an actor I get to work in all of the mediums.
"We need stories, we need the opportunities, we need things to be seen. The world is changing and we do have to change with it. I have a foot in every area of this and I am grateful."
