I just eat life... I engage in life.
Tom Cruise
I don't care who you are, life has challenges.
I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
I feel good about the decisions that I made and I'm happy. You know, I'm really happy.
I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life.
I'm an all-or-nothing kind of person, and when I become interested in something, I give it my all.
I feel lonely at times, but I don't want to get into a relationship with someone if it is not right. I'm not the type of person who just does things to do them.
I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.
It's well known I'm a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it's something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.
I've never done work for money, ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.
Perception and reality are two different things.
I demand a lot of myself. I want to learn. I can't sit back. I like a challenge, so I create a lot of challenges for myself.
Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.
My childhood was extremely lonely. I was dyslexic and lots of kids make fun of me. That experience made me tough inside, because you learn to quietly accept ridicule.
No dream is ever just a dream.
Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'.
In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take!
I've spent many birthdays on a movie set, all great days.
I'm always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.
I like to work with people that I like hanging out with, that I admire, that are really smart and talented, and we can problem solve together.
Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.
Here's how I've lived my life: I've never been late to a set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.
When I'm promoting a film, I'm not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.
I'm a romantic.
I go without sleep, I just go hard.
As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, 'This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.'
I would live with all of my sisters if I could. We've always been very close, my sisters and me.
When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion.
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.
What I find sometimes that is tricky is if actors are using too much of their own life in a picture, in a scene, they get locked into a particular way to play the scene, and it lacks an immediacy.
I've learned to relax more. Everybody feels pressure in what they do, maybe mine is just a little different because there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish what I want to.
Saddam has committed many crimes against humanity and against his own people.
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.
When I work, I work very hard. So I look to work with people who have that level of dedication. And I depend on that from everyone. From the director to my crews that I work with.
I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.
I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.
The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.
I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.
Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren't completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow's embarrassment?
When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to.
I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
Do I make mistakes? Yeah.
When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.
