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 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 have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better, whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.
Tom Cruise
Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
Tom Cruise
I enjoy working with writers and their scripts. It's very exciting to me. Eventually I would like to produce, direct and act onstage, but it's not a heavy pressure. When I do it, I want to do it well. I'm just educating myself with writers and scripts, because I didn't read a lot of books when I was growing up.
Tom Cruise
I kept looking [at Katie] and thinking, 'This woman's amazing.' I'm happy that I'm with her. She's amazing, and I'd think the same of her even if she wasn't with me - she's just amazing.
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
Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.
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
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
When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.
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
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
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.
Tom Cruise
Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'.
Tom Cruise
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
Tom Cruise
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.
Tom Cruise
When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion.
Tom Cruise
For me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, thats the way I want to live my life. It moved me.
Tom Cruise
Who hasn't danced in their underwear?
Tom Cruise
If I don’t talk about my religion, if I say I’m not discussing it or different humanitarian things I’m working on, they’re like, “He’s avoiding it.” If I do talk about it, it becomes, “Oh, he’s proselytizing.”
Tom Cruise
