Tom Hanks Way Quotations

The only way you can truly control how you are seen is by being honest all the time.

Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.

If they could offer up a way to go to the moon that wouldn't kill you, I'd sign up.

There was nothing to react to except wind and trees [in Cast Away]. It was like making a silent movie.

No journalist has ever been in my house and no photographs have ever been taken of where I live. I don't parade my family out for display, which is the way it will stay.

The same way that I know that I'll never do a movie as good or as celebrated as 'Forrest Gump,' I know that I'll never do a movie as bad as 'Bonfire of the Vanities.'

I love what I do for a living, it's the greatest job in the world, but you have to survive an awful lot of attention that you don't truly deserve and you have to live up to your professional responsibilities and I'm always trying to balance that with what is really important.
