More quotes by Tom Hanks
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
Tom Hanks
Without question, we make choices - and those choices have consequences. So can you control your own destiny? To a degree, certainly. Must you have faith in serendipity? Without question, you'd better. Otherwise you're foolish.
Tom Hanks
Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.
Tom Hanks
From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle we just decided to go.
Tom Hanks
If I stopped having passion, I'd be done.
Tom Hanks
The only way you can truly control how you are seen is by being honest all the time.
Tom Hanks
I will entertain anything it doesn't matter. You know, it's not obviously about the price, it's not about who, it's kind of about when and what. It's material, that's all.
Tom Hanks
I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
Tom Hanks
The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.
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
My doctor said, 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be healthy and not have Type 2 diabetes.' Well, I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes, because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school.
Tom Hanks
Help, and you will make a huge impact in the life of the street, the town, the country and our planet. If only one out of four of each one hundred of you choose to help on any given day, in any given cause, incredible things will happen in the world you live in.
Tom Hanks
The truth is that everyone pays attention to who's number one at the box office. And none of it matters, because the only thing that really exists is the connection the audience has with a movie.
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
It's not a mid-life crisis. It's a mid-life disaster. A mid-life crisis is when you wake up with everything and you go I have everything but I'm still unhappy.
Tom Hanks
But look, I was born in 1956, the peak year for births in US history. I think I'm very representative of many of the thought processes my generation have been through and, by and large, people of my age have had their imprint planted on the consciousness of western society for a long time.
Tom Hanks
Audiences crave something they've never seen before. That's what they want. They want to be dazzled. They want to go in either to have their expectations blown out of the water, or have no expectations and are dazzled by the decisions that we filmmakers made.
Tom Hanks
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Tom Hanks
But actors with political views are a dime a dozen.
Tom Hanks
It's difficult to say no sometimes. I often hear, They'll really take care of you, or Someone else is going to take the role if you don't play it. Some of the best advice I ever received was to always ask myself: Am I going to kill myself if somebody else takes this role? The answer is almost always no.
Tom Hanks
