More quotes by 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.

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
My wife and I, we met making a movie. This is not just our job, it's our life. It's what we do naturally whether we're working together or not.
Tom Hanks
E-mail is far more convenient than the telephone, as far as I'm concerned. I would throw my phone away if I could get away with it.

If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
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
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 know how the Academy Awards works: It's a card game, and I'm in the toss-up category.
Tom Hanks
I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
Tom Hanks
You have to adhere to a philosophy that the life unexamined is not worth living, because otherwise you're just living from day to day and you don't have any real sense of yourself or where you are.
Tom Hanks
The easiest thing to do is to rag on the media, because it isn't doing a very good job right now. It is so much easier to profit from celebrating the worst aspects of ourselves. Acting strikes me as the antithesis of that. We can examine the worst aspects of ourselves, but we don't have to celebrate them.
Tom Hanks
If I stopped having passion, I'd be done.
Tom Hanks
There isn't any great mystery about me. What I do is glamorous and has an awful lot of white-hot attention placed on it. But the actual work requires the same discipline and passion as any job you love doing, be it as a very good pipe fitter or a highly creative artist.
Tom Hanks
I'm not interested in doing something edgy with a capital E just so everyone knows, 'Oh, OK, now he's showing us he can do edgy.'
Tom Hanks
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Tom Hanks
There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.
Tom Hanks
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
Tom Hanks
I want to have a good time myself. I don't want to dread going to work no matter what the gig is. I think, selfishly, I will make sure that I have a good time how about that?
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
In the creative process you come to loggerheads and you just have to keep the process moving forward, even if that requires jumping on a plane and flying to London. It's a good thing it's fun, otherwise it would be too much work.
