More quotes by Tom Hanks
There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.
Tom Hanks
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
Tom Hanks
I'm not looking for anything. If you start looking for something specific, then you take providence right out of it. You can't completely control it. Otherwise you'd make the same kind of movie over and over again, which some people say I've done.
Tom Hanks
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
Tom Hanks
If you can feel like a good man in your 40s, you can feel like a better man in your 50s, a Superman in your 60s, and maybe a Spider-Man in your 70s.
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
Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Tom Hanks
I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.
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
The reason most of us go to the movies is to be involved in someone else's moral dilemma.
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
Even the simplest choice can make a jaw-dropping difference in our world.
Tom Hanks
Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.
Tom Hanks
Help, and you will make a huge impact in the life of the street, the town, the country and our planet. If only one out of four of each one hundred of you choose to help on any given day, in any given cause, incredible things will happen in the world you live in.
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
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
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.
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
I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
Tom Hanks
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
Tom Hanks
