Where do I get my seriousness? You can't help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she's making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.

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
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 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
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
But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.
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
I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.
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
Seriously, I would go in a second. I'd be the first actor in space and I'd love to do it.
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
When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion.
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 love adventure movies, I just love action adventure films. It's pure cinema and you go in and you're lost to it. To me, it's that challenge - I want to give an audience that ride, that entertainment.
Tom Cruise
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.
Tom Cruise
Perception and reality are two different things.
Tom Cruise
Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
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
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
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes
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
