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 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
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
Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'.
Tom Cruise
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.
Tom Cruise
Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
Tom Cruise
I'm not greedy. I just want my half.
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
I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read.
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 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
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
They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.
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
When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion.
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
I just eat life... I engage in life.
Tom Cruise
I don't pretend to be the character. I am the character.
Tom Cruise
Perception and reality are two different things.
Tom Cruise
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.
