More quotes by 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
Shake it off and move on.
Tom Hanks
All directors should have to act and all actors should have to direct, so that they can understand all these key things that come into play with whether you can meet your day.
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
I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career.
Tom Hanks
As an actor I am always waiting for my luck to run out.
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
If I stopped having passion, I'd be done.
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
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
Repertory theater is all about being part of the whole, one of the many colors in this vast palette.
Tom Hanks
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
Tom Hanks
Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.
Tom Hanks
The easiest thing to do is to rag on the media, because it isn't doing a very good job right now. It is so much easier to profit from celebrating the worst aspects of ourselves. Acting strikes me as the antithesis of that. We can examine the worst aspects of ourselves, but we don't have to celebrate them.
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.
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
My work is really a blast. When it stops being a blast, then it ain't no fun no more!
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
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
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
