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.
Tom CruiseI remember looking at my dad and wanting to understand him. I didn't want to just write the guy off. He was lost. I can't speak specifically in terms of why and how he got to where he was - that was his journey. All I can tell you is, he was overwhelmed by life... My mother basically did all the work, and then they got separated and I didn't see him for a long time. He didn't try to help the family financially or spiritually, and I lived with the effects of the chaos.
Tom CruiseOf course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?
Tom CruiseFor me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, thatยs the way I want to live my life. It moved me.
