Tom Hanks
Mass-market movies have become about one thing. They kind of declare themselves right off the bat. . . . But when I go to see (a film), I want to be surprised. I want to see something I never expected. And when you get that, it should be celebrated.

Tom Hanks
I don't ask for much. I don't ask to be rich, and I don't ask to be famous, and I don't ask to play center field for the New York Yankees. I just want to get married and have a wife, and a house, and I want to have a kid, and I want to go see him be a tooth in the school play!
Tom Hanks
Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.
Tom Hanks
And then it was like, wait, you can go to college and study theater? And act in plays? This is almost a racket, you know. And then when the opportunity came along to do it professionally, I thought I'd won the lottery.
Tom Hanks
If they could offer up a way to go to the moon that wouldn't kill you, I'd sign up.
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
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
Saying no to something is actually much more powerful than saying yes.
Tom Hanks
This is what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination.
Tom Hanks
There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.
Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks
Even the simplest choice can make a jaw-dropping difference in our world.
