TOM HANKS

I want to have a good time myself. I don’t want to dread going to work no matter what the gig is.

If you’re funny, if there’s something that makes you laugh, then every day’s going to be okay.

I think it’s better to feel good than to look good.

Some people go to bed at night thinking, ‘That was a good day.’ I am one of those who worries and asks, ‘How did I screw up today?’

Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal.

It’s always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It’s hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

I try to do what I call the three E’s — educate, entertain, and enlighten.

From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It’s not a miracle; we just decided to go.

If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.
