I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
Tom Hanks
I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.
Tom Hanks
Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
Tom Hanks
Shake it off and move on.
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.'
Tom Hanks
I'm not looking for anything. If you start looking for something specific, then you take providence right out of it. You can't completely control it. Otherwise you'd make the same kind of movie over and over again, which some people say I've done.
Tom Hanks
The prejudice surrounding AIDS exacts a social death which precedes the actual physical one.
Tom Hanks
It was incredibly cheesy set with torches [TV's Survivor] - it looked like the lobby of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. And here as some guy pulling names out of a coconut, and I said, 'This is the thing that has made American mass media stop in their tracks?
Tom Hanks
All directors should have to act and all actors should have to direct, so that they can understand all these key things that come into play with whether you can meet your day.
Tom Hanks
