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.

More quotes by Tom Cruise
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise
They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.
Tom Cruise
I don't hide from cameras or anything. It doesn't bother me. I don't seek our press for the women I'm dating, but if it finds me, it finds me.
Tom Cruise
Awards are wonderful. I've been nominated many times and I've won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it happens it will be a blast. If it doesn't, it's still been a blast.
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
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.

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
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
I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
Tom Cruise
For me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, thatÂ’s the way I want to live my life. It moved me.
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
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes
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 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 don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.
Tom Cruise
Do I make mistakes? Yeah.
Tom Cruise
