More From Tom Hanks

I've been working in theater, really, since about 1965. i started working with the mabou mines about then, and in a way i've always worked in the theater, but it's never been a main part of my work. and it wasn't until einstein that i kind of shifted into high gear with theater, working with bob, with bob wilson. and since then i find it a very attractive form to work in. it's just an extension of my work.

I am no fun at all. in fact, i am anti-fun. not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. i am not so much against fun - although i suppose i kind of am - as i am the opposite of fun. i suck the fun out of a room. or perhaps i'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
Fun Opposites Tears
I want to keep working. i want to step away from young adult fiction. i want to do theater periodically - farragut north reminded me how great it is. i started out in theater. i trained in theater and then i kind of fell into film and tv. i want to work with interesting artists, talented actors, talented directors, and talented scripts. not necessarily leading roles.
Artist Interesting Scripts
The theater is a need for me. it's a terrible attraction, something i'm compelled to do. and one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. making films weakens you in some way. with the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.
Film Terrible Attraction
It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. it made me think, "gee, i don't know if i ever want to do this again." and i love theater. i love going. i love the experience of theater. but i am not sure it's for me.
Thinking Want Moments
I think i'm better wired for television. i love variety as far as a project. i'm easily bored and the schedule of a television show, it just keeps you going. i love theater and i think doing a sitcom in front of a live audience is the closest you can get to theater, and it's really the best mix of like standup and theater, is really a sitcom. i started as a standup and i still continue to do that as well, so i think i'm just a tv guy and happy for it. i think my movie career is kind of like my social life, i'm picky and not in demand. so it perhaps is working out.
Thinking Bored Work Out
Similar Quotes
Seeking is a combination of emotions people usually think of as being different: wanting something really good, looking forward to getting something really good and curiosity. seeking gives you the energy to go after your goals.
Thinking People Giving
People with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to conserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change.
Thinking People Frustrated
I hope my talent has something to do with it. i just think this business is so crazy. i obviously do the best i can, and the directors i admire see something in me. but this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. so that's why i say i'm lucky. i don't feel that i'm not talented - i think i am talented - but i also think i'm very lucky.
Crazy Opportunity Thinking
I'm not scandalous. i think it's actually embarrassing to be in those, yet some people will do anything to be in those magazines. i'm happy with who i am, and i'm happy with the way people portray me. if it's too normal, then that's their opinion.
