On her personality

• It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.

• I know this sounds dorky, but I'm always having this out-of-body experience with my career. I can't wait to write it down. I can't wait to tell my grandchildren. It's amazing.

• I've kept in touch with a lot of my high school friends. When I'm home, I see them. It's really cool.

• It's important to try to be creative. I paint, and my mom is going to teach me how to make clothes. I think people should have passions.

• My family always keeps me in check. I have three older sisters, and they work their butts off. They're all very supportive of my career, but I know what's really important is kids and family.

• I'm so spoiled - I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte every day. Otherwise, it's going to be a bad day. I also love Jelly Bellies. But that's bad. Don't tell my mom.

• I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob. So for me to consider a roommate, it would have to be one of my sisters or something.

• I'm definitely a messy person... I know where everything is but I just can't organize. I don't make lists and find scripts on the laundry machine, and under my bed, or in the bathroom, kitchen. It's bad, I really need to take control.

• I have some road rage inside of me. Traffic, especially in L.A., is a pet peeve of mine.

• I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing.

• I really can't deny it, I am who I am. I'm pretty normal. I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things, I trip, I spill food. I say stupid things... I really don't have it all together.

On Tom Cruise

• From the moment I met him it just felt like I'd known him forever. I was blown away. He's the most incredible man. He's so generous and kind, and he helps so many people, and, um, he makes me laugh like I've never laughed, and he's a great friend.… Tom and I will always be in our honeymoon phase.… Tom is the most incredible man in the world.

• We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.

• I think every little girl dreams about [her wedding]. I used to think I was going to marry Tom Cruise. (October 2004) http://www.framingbusiness.net/php/2005/tomkat.php

By Tom Cruise about Katie

• I want Kate to be as comfortable as possible and whatever she's going to go through she's going to go through and I'm going to be there. She's going to make noise, I'm sure.

• I really just knew. It was an explosion. And she is just magic. And I really think that all men should celebrate their women. … They should all jump on couches for them. … When you find that woman, you should absolutely be unabashed about it. That's how I feel about it.

• But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.
