Tom Hanks
A story has the opportunity to enlighten us, because as we connect the extraordinary moments on film with the ordinary moments of our lives, we ask ourselves, What am I going to do the next time I'm scared? What would it be like to say goodbye to my family for the last time?
Tom Hanks
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
Tom Hanks
We are still in the position of waking up and having a choice. Do I make the world better today somehow, or do I not bother?
Tom Hanks
It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together ... and I knew it.
Tom Hanks
The reason most of us go to the movies is to be involved in someone else's moral dilemma.
Tom Hanks
If I stopped having passion, I'd be done.
Tom Hanks
Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
