Some people just court celebrity for the sake of it. People like Tom Cruise. He was always a great actor, but I think the man`s lost it, lost it. You won`t ever catch me jumping up and down on Oprah going on about how I love this woman. And then others st...
Jon Bon Jovi
I don`t think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren`t. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each proj...
Jonny Miller
I actually love auditioning because I usually don`t get the part. I`ve tested with Daniel Day-Lewis, De Niro, Pacino, Tom Cruise. So I`ve gotten to that point, and I understand when I don`t get it. There are a lot of very talented people out there.
Deborah Kara Unger
It was hysterical. We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing. - about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
Thandie Newton
Someone asked me once "What is the difference between Tom Cruise now and you when you were a major star?" I said there is a great difference. Look at a photograph of me from the old days and I`m going to one of my film premieres with a bottle of vodka in ...
Richard Harris
You get on a set and immediately people are wiping your ass for you, and nobody tells you when you`re being an asshole. I`m sure nobody working for Tom Cruise would turn around and say, `Tom, don`t do that anymore because you`re a dickhead to do that`. Ac...
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
I was a foreigner, and I knew that most of the parts I would be offered would be foreigners. I knew I could not compete with Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, and Nicolas Cage, and so I did not fight it. I saw the path I was destined to walk and decided to do the...
Peter Stormare
I know about Kylie (Kylie Minogue) and Robbie (Robbie Williams) and `Pop Idol` and stuff like that. You can`t get away from that when you hit the [British] shore, so I know all about the cruise ship entertainment aspect of British pop.
David Bowie
This was the golden boy of all history. I`ve been trying to make [`Alexander`] for a long time. In 1991 with Val Kilmer, in 1996 with Tom Cruise. Then Colin Farrell came along, and he was perfect. He was a tough, Tyrone Power, barstool-looking boy from Du...
Oliver Stone
[Talking to Conan O`Brien about the experience of living in Sydney while shooting Superman Returns (2006)] I love Sydney. I became really attached to the city while I was there. The atmosphere, culture and the people are just so amazing. I went for a crui...
Kate Bosworth
I never really worried about it. As I`ve amassed a body of work, the questions about Tom have gone away. I figured that if I did good work, I`d be seen for what I am. - talking about his famous cousin, Tom CruiseWilliam Mapother
A legend involves the past. I don`t like categories. This one is great and that one is great. The word great stands for something. When you talk about a great actor, you`re not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It`s inappropriat...
Lauren Bacall
I don`t know many women who can relate to Sharon Stone and the kind of movies she does. I don`t know a lot of guys who can relate to Tom Cruise`s movies because they`re on a kind of fantastic level. I like movies I can relate to.
Kim Cattrall
[8/00, on her marriage to Tom Cruise] Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it. Sometimes I try to downplay it a bit because people are like, "God you guys!" I just f...
Nicole Kidman
We all believe what we read. I read how Tom Cruise and I were two big egos holding up shooting. I know that isn`t true - but if I wasn`t making a movie with him and I just picked up the paper, I`d believe it. That`s interesting, isn`t it?
Dustin Hoffman
[on acting in films] I think it`s real easy to look at what`s out there and get discouraged. I was never the best-looking guy, I was never the `Tom Cruise`-looking guy. I think the biggest thing I can say is, "Don`t compare yourself". Focus on making you ...
Craig Sheffer
When they decide they want to expand their repertoire of facial expressions, say, play a character part, or do a period piece, it`s often their fate, tragically, that they fail. Few actors have learned about acting by doing successful movies. Tom Cruise h...
Val Kilmer
A lot of people ask me if it`s intimidating because Tom Cruise was the star of the original and that kind of thing, but for me, it was just such a different story, it was rock and roll. (About QotD)
Stuart Townsend
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you`ve got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I`m sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn`t have the same substance.
Werner Herzog
I wanted to skim into the global marketplace so that I could make small movies like Your Friends & Neighbors (1998). There was enough hype around Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) that I was able to get the funding for Your Friends & Neighbors (1998) - On wh...
