03-Jul-1962


United States


Actor

Tom Cruise is best known for the numerous hit films that he has acted in and the controversies regarding his personal life and beliefs that he has been involved in. While he has worked with renowned directors and actors from the entertainment industry throughout his career, his blunt advocacy of the Church of Scientology and its social programs has often got in the way of his personal and professional relationships. Furthermore, his belief in the ideologies of the cult has also made him criticize psychiatry as pseudoscience. Thankfully, he often focuses on his acting career, rather than the controversies, in his interviews. His quotes reflect his yearning for good challenges and his pride in achieving 'impossible missions' towards success.

QUOTES BY Tom Cruise


Awards are wonderful. I've been nominated many times and I've won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it happens it will be a blast. If it doesn't, it's still been a blast.

I think if technology is used in a way that is not responsible, that is a bad thing. I think technology and where it is going inevitable, and there's great benefits that can help an individual in society at large.

I've had such extremes in my life. From being this kind of wild kid, to one year studying to be a Franciscan priest at the seminary....I was very frustrated.

But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It's helped so many people.

Where do I get my seriousness? You can't help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she's making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.

I have cooked turkeys in my day but when Mom`s around I let her do it.

I don't care if you print something nasty about me. If it's true, fine. I don't care. But just make sure it's the truth.

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 you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.
