Quote by Tom Hanks (b. 1956)

• I'm glad I didn't have to fight in any war. I'm glad I didn't have to pick up a gun. I'm glad I didn't get killed or kill somebody. I hope my kids enjoy the same lack of manhood.

• Eating everything you want is not that much fun. When you live a life with no boundaries, there’s less joy. If you can eat anything you want to, what’s the fun in eating anything you want to?

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

• Some of the best advice I ever received was "Man, that was terrible".

• In the 1998 Oscars, I found myself in the bathroom in a stall, next to Tom Selleck. So I leaned over and I said looks like were a couple of peeing Toms. His angry silence is something I'll never forget.
