More quotes by 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
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 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.
Tom Cruise
I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.
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
You know what? I’m sure drug dealers on the street, in some way, they are making money. That’s what I equate it to. Here is the thing: you have to understand, with psychiatry, there is no science behind it. And to pretend that there is a science behind it is criminal
Tom Cruise
I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
Tom Cruise
But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.
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
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
But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It's helped so many people.
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
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
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
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.
Tom Cruise
I believe in life. I know that life comes in at your heart and it doesn't matter if you're an actor, a filmmaker or a gentleman on the street, it comes at you. What Scientology gives me is the tools to deal with that, to better enjoy my life and to be able to contribute more.
Tom Cruise
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes
Tom Cruise
As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.
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
I'm always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.
Tom Cruise
