Here are notable quotes from Tom Cruise:
“I’ve learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.”
“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.”

“I’ve never made a film that I didn’t believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I’ve always given everything to it. That’s kind of how I approach life. I can’t help it. There’s no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.”
“I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.”
“I feel lonely at times, but I don’t want to get into a relationship with someone if it’s not right. I’m not the type of person who just does things to do them.”
“I’ve gotten very good at scheduling my life, scheduling the scene and preparing myself for knowing, saving the energy, consuming the energy, knowing when to go for it and having the available reserves to be able to do that. You have to think about that, because it’s endurance.”
“To me, the most important thing in life is to be a human being. Second is acting.”
“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.”
“I’ve never been driven by money—certainly not after I had my first job. I was 19 and I thought, ‘I can make a living from this?’ That’s incredible to me.”
