More quotes by Tom Hanks
If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.
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
I have high blood sugars, and Type 2 diabetes is not going to kill me. But I just have to eat right, and exercise, and lose weight, and watch what I eat, and I will be fine for the rest of my life.
Tom Hanks
But actors with political views are a dime a dozen.
Tom Hanks
I view my wife as my lover, and we have a bond that goes beyond words like wife or girlfriend or mother.
Tom Hanks
My work is really a blast. When it stops being a blast, then it ain't no fun no more!
Tom Hanks
I think I'm lucky that I had kids as spread out as much as I did, 'cause my son, my oldest, was born when I was 21. And my youngest is 15 now. He was born when I was 40, you know?
Tom Hanks
Saying no to something is actually much more powerful than saying yes.
Tom Hanks
Help and you will abolish apathy-the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.
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
People ask me all the time, What kind of father are you? I won't know until my kids are grown.
Tom Hanks
This is what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination.
Tom Hanks
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
Tom Hanks
Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Tom Hanks
There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.
Tom Hanks
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
Tom Hanks
I will entertain anything it doesn't matter. You know, it's not obviously about the price, it's not about who, it's kind of about when and what. It's material, that's all.
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
Mass-market movies have become about one thing. They kind of declare themselves right off the bat. . . . But when I go to see (a film), I want to be surprised. I want to see something I never expected. And when you get that, it should be celebrated.
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
