More quotes by Tom Hanks
Repertory theater is all about being part of the whole, one of the many colors in this vast palette.
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
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
Tom Hanks
But look, I was born in 1956, the peak year for births in US history. I think I'm very representative of many of the thought processes my generation have been through and, by and large, people of my age have had their imprint planted on the consciousness of western society for a long time.
Tom Hanks
Eating everything you want is not that much fun. When you live a life with no boundaries, there's less joy. If you can eat anything you want to, what's the fun in eating anything you want to?
Tom Hanks
What we're doing with Band of Brothers is trying to put it into human terms, so it is not just a flickering, black and white myth on a screen, it is a resonant story. I want the audience to recognize themselves in these men. They're not just mythic heroes.
Tom Hanks
At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.'
Tom Hanks
All the kids are gone. It's the greatest thing that has ever happened to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hanks. I'll tell you that right now. Second greatest after having the kids in the first place. When they go, holy smoke, it's like you're dating again. It's fantastic. Also, we were doing an awful lot of work.
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
I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
Tom Hanks
It's difficult to say no sometimes. I often hear, They'll really take care of you, or Someone else is going to take the role if you don't play it. Some of the best advice I ever received was to always ask myself: Am I going to kill myself if somebody else takes this role? The answer is almost always no.
Tom Hanks
I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
Tom Hanks
I don't parade my family out for display, which is the way it will stay. Yet I have a reputation for being cooperative with the press. That's because when I do give an interview, I'm willing to tell the truth about what I do for a living and how goofy it is sometimes - and how volatile it can also be.
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
There's such an advantage to being involved in the day-to-day details of each other's lives. It's a marvelous fabric to exist in.
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
Shake it off and move on.
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
There was a period of time in Los Angeles when I wondered if I was just going to lose everything.
Tom Hanks
