More quotes by 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
I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.
Tom Hanks
Shake it off and move on.
Tom Hanks
Help and you will abolish apathy-the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.
Tom Hanks
The only way you can truly control how you are seen is by being honest all the time.
Tom Hanks
One thing that was amazing about World War II was that everybody signed up for the duration plus six months. Fliers got to leave combat after 25 missions, or 35 missions, but other than that, you were in it. You were part of the great effort, until, oh boy, six months after it was over.
Tom Hanks
The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.
Tom Hanks
I know how the Academy Awards works: It's a card game, and I'm in the toss-up category.
Tom Hanks
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
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
Tom Hanks
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
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
There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.
Tom Hanks
Some people are cowards... I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice.
Tom Hanks
My doctor said, 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be healthy and not have Type 2 diabetes.' Well, I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes, because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school.
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
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
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
Believing is seeing and seeing is believing.
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
