More quotes by Tom Hanks
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
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
I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.
Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks
Even the simplest choice can make a jaw-dropping difference in our world.
Tom Hanks
The Toy Story films accomplish what timeless classics aim for - innocent characters who face an endless trail of adventures.
Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
Tom Hanks
I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I'm not that nice a guy.
Tom Hanks

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
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
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.
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
I love my family and I love my kids, but when the moments come, it's not as though you can just substitute your own life with what you're doing on film. You have to go to some other place where it's bigger than your own life.
Tom Hanks
One thing that was amazing about World War II was that everybody signed up for the duration plus six months. Fliers got to leave combat after 25 missions, or 35 missions, but other than that, you were in it. You were part of the great effort, until, oh boy, six months after it was over.
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 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.
Tom Hanks
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
Tom Hanks
Directing is a constant test of your communicative powers. You're constantly trying to explain people your vision of what you want and steer these tiny little details into a cohesive thing.
Tom Hanks
