More quotes by Tom Hanks
If you can feel like a good man in your 40s, you can feel like a better man in your 50s, a Superman in your 60s, and maybe a Spider-Man in your 70s.
Tom Hanks
But actors with political views are a dime a dozen.

Tom Hanks
If I was to direct Ron Howard, I guarantee you, I would put him through a living hell every day. I would demand so much of him. We wouldn't quit until he leaves the set crying. Weeping! Spent!
Tom Hanks
Repertory theater is all about being part of the whole, one of the many colors in this vast palette.
Tom Hanks
I hope my kids understand that they're not operating in a normal world. And yet there are principles they have to adhere to that are normal - like decency, choosing between right and wrong, and honesty. That's important stuff, whether you're flying first-class or not.
Tom Hanks
Some people are cowards... I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice.
Tom Hanks
There was a period of time in Los Angeles when I wondered if I was just going to lose everything.
Tom Hanks
If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.
Tom Hanks
There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.
Tom Hanks
I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I'm not that nice a guy.
Tom Hanks
There's no substitute for a great love who says, 'No matter what's wrong with you, you're welcome at this table.'
