My wife and I, we met making a movie. This is not just our job, it's our life. It's what we do naturally whether we're working together or not.
Tom Hanks
My favorite traditional Christmas movie that I like to watch is All Quiet on the Western Front. It's just not December without that movie in my house.
Tom Hanks
It's not a mid-life crisis. It's a mid-life disaster. A mid-life crisis is when you wake up with everything and you go I have everything but I'm still unhappy.
Tom Hanks
My job has always been to hold a mirror up to nature.

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 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.

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

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
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
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
Tom Hanks
Believing is seeing and seeing is believing.
Tom Hanks
If I have no connection with the character, then it's all fake - it's just blah, blah, blah.
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
People ask me all the time, What kind of father are you? I won't know until my kids are grown.
Tom Hanks
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
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
The average movie set is the least political arena on Earth. Nobody bothers talking about politics because, one, we all love the job so much. You don't talk about current events. You talk about old show business stories and whether or not there's gonna be French onion dip at the craft services table that day.
Tom Hanks
There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.
Tom Hanks
Shake it off and move on.
