More quotes by 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
If they could offer up a way to go to the moon that wouldn't kill you, I'd sign up.
Tom Hanks
Shake it off and move on.
Tom Hanks
This is what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination.
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
I'm not looking for anything. If you start looking for something specific, then you take providence right out of it. You can't completely control it. Otherwise you'd make the same kind of movie over and over again, which some people say I've done.
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 was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.
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
Directing is a constant test of your communicative powers. You're constantly trying to explain people your vision of what you want and steer these tiny little details into a cohesive thing.
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
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
There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.
Tom Hanks
When you try to bring a story to life, it starts in your head and you see possibilities for it, but it's just one damn thing after another.
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 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
The reason most of us go to the movies is to be involved in someone else's moral dilemma.
Tom Hanks
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
Reading a script is usually as exciting as reading a boilerplate legal document, so when you read one that makes you feel as if you're seeing the movie, you know it's something different.
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
