Perception and reality are two different things.
Tom Cruise
I'm not greedy. I just want my half.
Tom Cruise
I enjoy working with writers and their scripts. It's very exciting to me. Eventually I would like to produce, direct and act onstage, but it's not a heavy pressure. When I do it, I want to do it well. I'm just educating myself with writers and scripts, because I didn't read a lot of books when I was growing up.
Tom Cruise
Making a movie is like a chess game. It's about constantly changing patterns, adapting to new things. It's not just black and white, as you know.
Tom Cruise
Everybody dies, Sally. The thing is to die well.
Tom Cruise
It's well known I'm a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it's something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.
Tom Cruise
I've been... chased by paparazzi, and they run lights, and they chase you and harass you the whole time. It happens all over the world, and it has certainly gotten worse. You don't know what it's like being chased by them.
Tom Cruise
If I don’t talk about my religion, if I say I’m not discussing it or different humanitarian things I’m working on, they’re like, “He’s avoiding it.” If I do talk about it, it becomes, “Oh, he’s proselytizing.”
Tom Cruise
I also realise power is fleeting, it doesn't last forever in this career, so I want to make the most of it. I want to make the kinds of pictures that interest me, it's as simple as that. I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.
Tom Cruise
Saddam has committed many crimes against humanity and against his own people.
Tom Cruise
I don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.
Tom Cruise
Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.
Tom Cruise
Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.
Tom Cruise
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.
Tom Cruise
I feel lonely at times, but I don't want to get into a relationship with someone if it is not right. I'm not the type of person who just does things to do them.
Tom Cruise
I'm a good listener. I think it's the one characteristic that's most important. I've always been that way. Not that I take all the advice, but you've got to listen to it and have the courage to make your own decision. Then I just go for it.
Tom Cruise
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.
Tom Cruise
Stanley Kubrick was brilliant at getting under the audience's skin. He was very interested in the idea of, 'How can I tell this with just a camera?'
Tom Cruise
I've always thought of the audience. I just want to entertain the audience. That's what it's about: what's good for the movie, what's best for the movie, what's best for the audience.
Tom Cruise
When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to.
Tom Cruise
