View Photo »We've got negative visibility in our star field ... and if this paperwork isn't right, who knows where we'll end up out here.
There was a big discussion in my own head about, 'Do I really want to see the twin towers at all?' ... There was a choice about, 'Do I want to see what happened to Tom Hanks?' I went, 'I literally cannot do that.' The idea of building an office, the Windows of the World — I just couldn't do it.
I read an early draft of The Terminal [the 2004 Tom Hanks vehicle about a foreigner without papers stranded for years in an airport in diplomatic limbo], that Spielberg later directed, and I liked it. I met the producers and said to them this should be a silent film with visual cues stolen from Jacques ...
I always think of the Tom Hanks’ movie ‘Big’ when I think of what we’re trying to do with our humor ... The character is odd, but the universe is very grounded. It’s already a silly premise, so they wanted to make the universe seem very grounded and have comedy arise from that conflict.
I have an abscessed tooth and I kept picturing Tom Hanks in ‘Castaway’ where he had to use that skate and a rock to fix it
It is great emotional acting. Tom Hanks didn't have to say any dialogue in Castaway for it to be a great performance.
What have you done today? I just met Tom Hanks and helped move his son into Allison. NBD.
Now we need to make it clear, that this isn’t the Tom Hanks movie, ‘The Polar Express,’
I grew up with the Muppets ... When you're a kid, the Muppets are sort of the entryway into comedy. They lead you into harder comedy, like Monty Python and 'Saturday Night Live.' But, really, the Muppets sort of defined who I wanted to be as a comedian when I was a kid. It's like I've told Kermit, he wa...
I went back to Spain after that until I had the chance to do some reading with Tom Hanks
I sort of modeled my career after Kermit and the rest of the Muppets ... I've told Kermit, he really was my idol. Kermit's like the original Tom Hanks when you're a kid or Jimmy Stewart or something.
He has even a bigger role it seemed than Tom Hanks in it
When you are a kid, Kermit was Tom Hanks or Jimmy Stewart ... He helped define who I wanted to be as an actor.
He was the glue that held the Muppets together. He’s in the same tradition as Tom Hanks and Jimmy Stewart as the everyman.
I always try and think of an answer that will make me seem clever, like some really obscure Muppet. But it’s Kermit, you know? I know that’s kind of boring, but - and I’ve said this a bunch - when I was a kid he was like Tom Hanks. He’s the everyman, and he’s the moral center of the Muppets and sort of ...
