Tom Hanks
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
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
When I was 21 years old, I had a job playing Santa Claus in a shopping centre in Sacramento. I was rail thin, so it's not like I was a traditional Santa Claus even then. I had a square stomach that was the shape of the sofa cushion that I had stuffed into my pants.
Tom Hanks
College isn't necessary for everybody and it's only from what you put into it what you go there for.
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
I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
Tom Hanks
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
Tom Hanks
Shake it off and move on.
Tom Hanks
For some people, I will be Forrest Gump for the rest of my life. But that's OK that's a good thing.
Tom Hanks
Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day.
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
Saying no to something is actually much more powerful than saying yes.
Tom Hanks
I have faith that a script is going to hit me like a ton of bricks, and when that happens, it's undeniable that I should choose the role.
