When I work, I'm the actor. I'm going to do my job. I'm not going to direct the movie. If I wanted to direct it, I would direct it. I wanted J.J. Abrams to direct Mission: Impossible. I work with people that I respect. I expect them to do their jobs, and I will do mine. And I am there as a producer to help in any way, but no one makes a movie by themselves. It's a collaboration.
Tom CruiseOf course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
Tom CruiseI just want to help people. I'm a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon.
Tom CruiseI 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.
