More quotes by Tom Hanks
I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
Tom Hanks
The reason most of us go to the movies is to be involved in someone else's moral dilemma.
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
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
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
The prejudice surrounding AIDS exacts a social death which precedes the actual physical one.
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
A lot of people would flee from what they think is award-show cheesiness, and I don't. I often joke that my speeches are very personal moments that play themselves out in front of billions of people.
Tom Hanks
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
Tom Hanks
The Toy Story films accomplish what timeless classics aim for - innocent characters who face an endless trail of adventures.
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
Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as 'yellow, slant-eyed dogs' that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what's going on today?
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
Some people are cowards... I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice.
Tom Hanks
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
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
Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.
Tom Hanks
I am a lay historian by nature. I seek out an empirical reflection of what truth is. I sort of want dates and motivations and I want the whole story. But I've always felt, unconsciously, that all human history is that connection from person to person to person, event to event to event, and from idea to idea.
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
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
