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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'.

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.

If someone wants to know about Scientology, they should just go and read about it themselves. That's the best way to do it.
Tom Cruise
Image
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.

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.

I'm not greedy. I just want my half.

Seriously, I would go in a second. I'd be the first actor in space and I'd love to do it.

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.
