I'm crazy enough to believe in taking chances in every way, in making choices and gambling with your life. That's the kind of gambling I believe in.

A planned life is a dead life.

I'll miss Hollywood. Of the twenty friends I thought I had, I'll miss the six I really had.

I finally felt that I came into my own when I went on the stage.

I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'

When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.

The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
