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.

Even the scenes where you don't have the action, I've got
to pace myself. At the end of the day, you know, you might be
doing a close-up and working on this scene and you got to be
prepared, you got to have it available. So I think of that when
I'm preparing for a film, so I prepare very hard.

I always look for a challenge and something that's different.

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.

I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting
beat up than you do from winning.

I do it because it's fun. I'm not a great mountain climber
but things like that excite me. I think a lot of people are
going to think that stuff is special effects, but it's not.
I'm on the mountain. Throughout the fight scenes, when things
come dangerously close, that's all real.

I find that, especially with children, they want to contribute.
Even my kids, when they come in and they mess up the work and
I'm busy, but they are just trying to help out, so I always
say, "Thank you." That's how I am with them and I
find that they're happier and I'm happier as a result.

I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their
time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion.
"If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone
to help." That hit me, because I try to lead my life like
that.
Tom Cruise |
I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.
Tom Cruise |
I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want
to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what
I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around
me. That's what I want.
