TOM CRUISE FOREVER /// Your #1 Source For The Talented Actor Tom Cruise /// Version 12

\\\\ OTHERS ON TOM \\\\

• Cameron Crowe in Premiere April 2005: " He always says 'I will not be able to make all the movies I want to make in my life, so I want to make each one matter', so he has a whole life going on with every character in the movie. He is always living the part. It's not, 'Put the camera on me, I'm going to give you my compassionate mode'. Tom is never like that. Nor will he take glycerine in his eyes to cry- he'll cry".

• Steven Spielberg in Premiere April 2005: "Tom just happens to burn brighter than most, and that's before you even factor in how talented an actor he is"

• Steven Spielberg: "Tom spreads a kind of team spirit to everyone involved," Spielberg says admiringly. "I mean, this guy could win NBA championships if he coached any basketball team. He's a total inspiration, let alone being a great actor."

• Dougray Scott talking about Tom:

"Tom Cruise is a brilliant movie actor, someone that I've always rated very highly. He's a lovely man, who just wants to be treated normally. I'm from Fife and that's how we treat people."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He is one of the loveliest guys in the world. Tom is a mate, a friend, and one of the most down-to-earth actors I have ever worked with."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Poor guy. His life's under scrutiny the entire time. I'm not aware of my status as a celebrity because I don't think I am one."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Dougray Scott talking about Tom in the MI 2 rock climbing scene: "You've got to take your hat off to him and say: 'The guy's a madman, but let's admire him.' He gets a thrill out of that stuff. He's an adrenaline junkie."

• Comedian Jamie Foxx on his COLLATERAL co-star TOM CRUISE: "Whatever you do to TOM CRUISE, you're not gonna make him ugly."

• Rosie O'Donnell: "I just want him (Tom Cruise) to wear Armani around the house and fetch me things."

• John Woo: "When he talks, he has so much energy it's almost like he's dancing. So I used that to choreograph his action scenes."

• Marshall Herskovitz, producer of TLS:"Tom has more energy than six people combined"

• Tom doesn't need to lay claim to an idea in order to try it for size. He's very selfless as an actor - Steven Spielberg (Empire Magazine - August 2002)

• "I was genuinely taken with him. I thought he was a really great guy. Very very easy-going. He was just really cool, very welcoming on-set to me" - Simon Pegg (Total Film - May 2006)

• "He's really a great guy, and he's a generous person to work with, and you couldn't ask for a better co-star. He treats everyone as his equal, and I appreciate that a lot, because we're lucky to be here" - Maggie Q (Coming Soon Net - March 21st 2006)

• "Working with Tom is amazing. He has an incredible insight". - J.J Abrams ( First - April 2006)
