Tom Cruise Filmography

• "I will never be down with love. Ever. I'm the guy who loves relationships. I love women."
• On hope to find a third wife: "I'm a romantic. I probably will get married again at some point. Just because things didn't work out with Nic doesn't make me feel that it can't work out for me. I guess I have a dark side - getting a little cynical. But I'm really an optimist. I see the cup as half full not half empty."
• On the collapse of his 11-year marriage to Nicole Kidman: "It was a very painful time, the toughest time I've ever been through in my life, but I have a lot of respect for Nic and I always will."
• "Definitely. I don't have anything like I'm never going to get married again; I'm very much a romantic and an optimist."
• "What I had with Nic, we had some extraordinary moments together and times that I will cherish and I'll never forget. We're people too, and things happen. But when that time comes again that I'm going to get married, I'll do that."
• "I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned that change isn't always a bad thing, that sometimes you have to confront things for everyone, and that you can get through things and still love that person and care about people, even if you have disagreements. I feel that way about Nic."
• "Steven's been my friend for many years and to have this chance to work with him, I can just say it was the greatest experience I ever had. It was extraordinary for me. It's something that I would like to do again." (about his collaboration with Spielberg in MINORITY REPORT).
• "It's great fun to chat to people's friends and family members on the phone. I just say `hello, how are you?' but most of the time they don't believe it's me. So sometimes they hang up on me."
• "I've always wanted to have that opportunity. Even when you look back, people thought I was crazy when I did BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, or RAIN MAIN also. With those movies back to back, some people were saying, give us another TOP GUN."
• "I actually thought about doing TOP GUN 2, but couldn't figure it out. We sat down, couldn't figure it out and thought, why do it? Believe it or not, I make a lot of money, but I don't do it for that reason. I just look for really good material, something that I really want to do."
• "I think I was lucky, but I also believe that people make their own way in the world. Certainly, I've had a tremendous amount of luck. ... What you do with that is up to the individual, how you live your life. You create your own luck after a certain point."
• "It was such a great experience working with him. I wish I had four movies under my belt with him at this stage." (About his collaboration with Spielberg in film MINORITY REPORT)
• "She's a lovely person, lovely. A genuinely good person. It's nice and we're just enjoying it. There's no plans, no plans." (about his relationship with actress Penelope Cruz)
• “I’m going to work my a** off and do whatever it takes—blood, sweat, and tears...”
