More quotes by 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
As an actor I am always waiting for my luck to run out.
Tom Hanks
My job has always been to hold a mirror up to nature.
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
The only way you can truly control how you are seen is by being honest all the time.
Tom Hanks
From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle we just decided to go.
Tom Hanks
Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.
Tom Hanks
It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together ... and I knew it.
Tom Hanks
But the battles against loneliness that I fought when I was 16 are very different from those I fought when I was 27, and those are very different from the ones I fight at 44.
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
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
People ask me all the time, What kind of father are you? I won't know until my kids are grown.
Tom Hanks
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
Tom Hanks
If I was to direct Ron Howard, I guarantee you, I would put him through a living hell every day. I would demand so much of him. We wouldn't quit until he leaves the set crying. Weeping! Spent!
Tom Hanks
Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
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
I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
Tom Hanks
Help and you will abolish apathy-the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.
Tom Hanks
I'm glad I didn't have to fight in any war. I'm glad I didn't have to pick up a gun. I'm glad I didn't get killed or kill somebody. I hope my kids enjoy the same lack of manhood.
Tom Hanks
I know how the Academy Awards works: It's a card game, and I'm in the toss-up category.
