I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
Tom Cruise
Image
Do I make mistakes? Yeah.
Tom Cruise
Image
I don't care who you are, life has challenges.
Tom Cruise

I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
Tom Cruise
Image
But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.

Image
I don't care what someone believes. I don't care what nationality they are. But if someone wants to get off drugs, I can help them. If someone wants to learn how to read, I can help them. If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life.

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?'

I structure the scripts and work on them on films and work on scenes with writers and but I haven't written a script myself, I really respect what they do and I'm fortunate I get to work with people that I really enjoy working with and we all kind of spitball and work together on these things, but I haven't written a script yet.

I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. 'If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.' That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.

Where do I get my seriousness? You can't help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she's making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.
Tom Cruise
Image
Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe? Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know.
Tom Cruise

Emotions kick up. You try not to kick things up, but you go through things you can't help.
Tom Cruise
Image
But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It's helped so many people.
Tom Cruise
Image
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
Image
I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better, whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.
Tom Cruise
Image
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
Tom Cruise
Image
I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.
Tom Cruise

I don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.

They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.

I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
