More quotes by Tom Hanks
And then it was like, wait, you can go to college and study theater? And act in plays? This is almost a racket, you know. And then when the opportunity came along to do it professionally, I thought I'd won the lottery.
Tom Hanks
I know the Pope is opposed to the use of condoms. All I can say is, I am a spiritual man and I've been happily married for 21 years. I don't even know what a condom is anymore.
Tom Hanks
My work is really a blast. When it stops being a blast, then it ain't no fun no more!
Tom Hanks
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
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
I don't ask for much. I don't ask to be rich, and I don't ask to be famous, and I don't ask to play center field for the New York Yankees. I just want to get married and have a wife, and a house, and I want to have a kid, and I want to go see him be a tooth in the school play!
Tom Hanks
I am a lay historian by nature. I seek out an empirical reflection of what truth is. I sort of want dates and motivations and I want the whole story. But I've always felt, unconsciously, that all human history is that connection from person to person to person, event to event to event, and from idea to idea.
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
In the early days you have a tendency to intellectualize, but you're really just trying to sound smart and score with the chicks.
Tom Hanks
I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
Tom Hanks
E-mail is far more convenient than the telephone, as far as I'm concerned. I would throw my phone away if I could get away with it.
Tom Hanks
There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.
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
Audiences crave something they've never seen before. That's what they want. They want to be dazzled. They want to go in either to have their expectations blown out of the water, or have no expectations and are dazzled by the decisions that we filmmakers made.
Tom Hanks
I hope my kids understand that they're not operating in a normal world. And yet there are principles they have to adhere to that are normal - like decency, choosing between right and wrong, and honesty. That's important stuff, whether you're flying first-class or not.
Tom Hanks
College isn't necessary for everybody and it's only from what you put into it what you go there for.
Tom Hanks
The only way you can truly control how you are seen is by being honest all the time.
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
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
Tom Hanks
I'm not saying I'm not bummed if a movie doesn't do well, but that isn't the final analysis of whether it's any good.
