More quotes by Tom Cruise
I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.
Tom Cruise
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
I've gotten very good at scheduling my life, scheduling the scene and preparing myself for knowing, saving the energy, consuming the energy, knowing when to go for it and having the available reserves to be able to do that. You have to think about that, because it's endurance.
Tom Cruise
I've had such extremes in my life. From being this kind of wild kid, to one year studying to be a Franciscan priest at the seminary....I was very frustrated.
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
Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident... you know you have to do something about it because you know you're the only one that can really help.
Tom Cruise
I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
Tom Cruise
Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
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 just eat life... I engage in life.
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
We live in a world in which we are able to communicate very quickly in many different ways, and yet we find communicating more difficult than ever. When in fact we need communication more urgently than ever, because the enemies that threaten us are universal: drugs, illiteracy and crime. We have to fight against them together.
Tom Cruise
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
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.
Tom Cruise
When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.
Tom Cruise
Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.
Tom Cruise
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
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
Seriously, I would go in a second. I'd be the first actor in space and I'd love to do it.
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.
