Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks
If I stopped having passion, I'd be done.
Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks
I went to college because I didn't have anywhere else to go and it was a fabulous hang. And while I was there I was exposed to this world that I didn't know was possible.
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
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
Even the simplest choice can make a jaw-dropping difference in our world.
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
