I would love to work with Tom Hardy. Maybe do something crazy or dramatic that is different for me.
I’d never imagined I had the opportunity to play with Tom Brady, the greatest athlete in sports history.
I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he’s also really good.
Standing in front of our hallway mirror, I am practising a few poses – one leg artfully bent, the opposite shoulder up – when the man of the house strides in and decides to share: a) I look like I have dislocated my shoulder and b) Has anyone ever told me I strongly resemble Tom Cruise?
I think Tom Frieden, the CDC director, is a good man, is a good doctor and, I think, basically has done a good job.
Tom Browkaw said it best. He said NBC could survive without him or the rest of the news division, but not Nancy Fields.
I rejected most of the folk I was exposed to in the Seventies. I came around later to Tom Waits, some parts of Jim Croce, and a lot of Cat Stevens.
One of the nicest things about NBC is that Tom Brokaw is not Dan Rather.
As he grew older, his material was just as relevant and just as exciting and the band’s just as killer… It seems surreal that there’s no more Tom Petty, in person.
I’m one of those actors who’s going to have to create a space for themselves. It’s very easy to be the young Tom Cruise, because Hollywood knows what to do with you. But if you’re someone who’s bringing someone slightly left of center to the table, you’re not a sure thing.
The part in ‘Philadelphia’ where I represent the law firm that’s firing Tom Hanks, that was a hard part for me because I lost one of my best friends to AIDS, and it was hard for me to play a part that wasn’t sympathetic to someone with AIDS.
When I was a young coach, there were people like Chuck Noll, Chuck Knox and Tom Landry who were there for me.
Like the rest of us, Tom Paulin is a bundle of contradictions. At its finest, his work is brave, adventurous, original and wonderfully idiosyncratic.
When Tom Ford asked me to consult for Gucci, I had never consulted in my life. I didn’t know what consulting was, and look, we made something amazing.
My heroes: Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nina Simone.
I know it sounds weird, but the kind of music I write isn’t the kind of music that I listen to, which is quite underground, left-of-centre stuff like PJ Harvey and Tom Waits.
I’m not gonna say I’m the greatest guy, but the reason I don’t hate is I know what it feels like to be hated. So I always pull for Tom Brady.
I spent the night on a sliver of rock high up on the east face of Long’s Peak, climbing with Tom Frost, and slept at the icy feet of the Dru, listening to the lightning crack above me and the thunder roll down. I only did it to write about it. I would never go up on the Grotto Wall for fun.
When we walked out of that hospital, we had a birth certificate with our names on it that said: ‘Father one and father two, Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black.’ And we knew our son was not only ours in our hearts but also legally and protected that way.
I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits – men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn’t found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets.
I was the muse of Tom Ford and Gucci for years, but that was a long time ago.
It’s always Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits for me – the big three.
I liked the fact DAKS was an unknown quantity. It’s more like Gucci before Tom Ford got there. There’s a lot you can do.
One day, you’re talking with Tom Hardy; the next day, you have Nicole Kidman kissing your feet. I never thought I’d be able to say that in my lifetime, Nicole Kidman kissing my feet. It’s mad.
My favorite record of all time is Tom Petty’s ‘Wildflowers.’ I hold it as the standard – in terms of sonics, sequencing, and songs. It shows that making a complete record is important, rather than just making a single.
For me, I’m always looking for opportunities to work with people who are better than me, who are more experienced than me, people from whom I can learn. And who could I learn more from than someone with an unprecedented movie star career that has spanned over thirty years whose name is Tom Cruise?
After seeing ‘Big,’ I wanted an elevator that opened directly into my apartment, just like Tom Hanks did.
Everyone knows that Tom Brady wasn’t chosen until the sixth round of the NFL draft, after teams passed over him again and again.
I met Elvis first in Las Vegas. I think I was appearing with Tom Jones and he came backstage to say hello to Tom or we went to his dressing room to say hello.
Tom would bring in songs, Mike would engineer, and we recorded about 30 songs.
When Tom Morello picks up the guitar, I’m sure what he sees is totally different from what I do, but I love the way he plays.
After I watched Tom Brady win the Super Bowl, it made me start to think that the only thing that marks greatness is consistency over a long period of time.
Tom Hooper had done ‘John Adams,’ and David Lynch did ‘Twin Peaks.’ I figured I could do eight hours of television, and I wanted to.
Even when every Tom, Dick and Harry was calling for my head, I still felt I could get better at being captain.
There isn’t a studio in the world that wouldn’t burn half its soundstages to get a Tom Cruise movie.
When you talk about a great actor, you’re not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It’s inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it’s kind of a sickness.
If you’re asking me where my heart and where I’m happy is, I love playing with Tom Brady. I love being coached by Bill Belichick.
Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He’s always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.
I really dig Tom Ford. It fits big dudes, but it’s the cleanest, most elegant-looking clothing ever.
Well, who wouldn’t want to work with Tom Hanks?
Finding original source material is not easy, but when something special like ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ comes along, everybody recognized it. I wasn’t swimming against the stream. Warner Brothers immediately supported it, Tom Cruise signed on instantly; Emily Blunt, who was our first choice, signed on immediately.
One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he’s doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.
I have so many man crushes – ‘my brother’ Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper – if he’s here today, I might get a bit squealish.
I got a lot of love for NBC, Tom Brokaw. He did a lot for me, and I appreciate him, and I owe a lot to him for that.
I think we had made 160 ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoons.
I have seen Hollywood artistes like Al Pacino, Tom Cruise and Tim Burton doing theatre and Broadway shows. Cinema actors tend to go back to theatre because it gives them an opportunity to reinvent themselves.
The best compliment I ever had is, one day I was in Nashville, some disc jockey said, Hey, that sounds like a Tom T. Hall song. Up until then there hadn’t been any such thing.
For actors, when you first get the project and you see that it’s a Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman-produced project, right away, from an acting standpoint, you go, ‘Wow. That’d be great to be part of that. What a career move that’d be.’
I never realized how similar that I am to Tom Brady. mean, the obvious physical appearance would be the first thing. The fact that he’s married to a supermodel? Hello? Yeah, I’m also married to a supermodel.
In America, celebrities who go to see your show will come backstage and introduce themselves. Meeting Annette Bening and Ethan Hawke that way was amazing, but when Tom Hanks came, it was really special – I’ve loved him since I first saw him in ‘Big!’
DJing is an art that I have the utmost respect for, and I’ve been practising it since I was 17 years old. Doing Tom Cruise wedding-type things becomes the focal point of every interview, and you realize that you have to cut it out if you don’t want to be answering questions about that.
I couldn’t control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn’t play well, I didn’t play well, and I wasn’t going to compete.
I’d love to make a movie with Tom Hardy. If we ever got the chance to make a Venom movie together, that would be super-cool, but his movie would have to take place in the MCU because I’m not giving up my ticket in the MCU.
Like my fictional protagonist Tom Thorne, I love country. My tastes go back a bit further than his do, and I still listen to stuff from the late ’70s and early ’80s.
I’ve heard ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ read, and I tell you Mrs. Stowe’s pen hasn’t begun to paint what slavery is as I have seen it at the far South. I’ve seen de real thing, and I don’t want to see it on no stage or in no theater.
