A 26-year-old Tom Cruise on failure, risk, and refusing the "movie star" label: In a 1988 interview around the release of Rain Man, the interviewer pushes Cruise on whether fame has made him emotionally guarded — suggesting that "just out of necessity as a movie star, there is some part of you that has to be cut off." Cruise pushes back immediately: "You have to understand, it's not about being a movie star. This whole interview and every time we sit down — you ask me this, and every time I tell you that there isn't a part of me that's cut off. It is about the work. Being a movie star is a wonderful thing that has happened, but that's not how I approach choosing a film or how I approach my life." He insists he still lives a normal life — going to the movies, the gas station, grocery shopping. No entourage mythology. No mystique. Just work. The interviewer then tries another angle, noting that Cruise has "one of the nicest reputations in Hollywood" but doesn't let people get real close. Cruise's response is disarmingly simple: "I feel like I'm letting you pretty close. I'm doing this to help promote the films and I don't really hold back that much, but there are certain things I don't want to talk about or that aren't important for people to hear." It's not guardedness. It's boundaries — and at 26, he already knew the difference. When asked about confidence and whether it ever gets shaken, Cruise is surprisingly candid: "All the time. Sometimes I look back and wonder where I got off going to New York to say I'm going to be an actor." But then he reveals the mindset that arguably built one of the most durable careers in Hollywood history: "What has helped me is that I don't treat failure as a personal, horrendous defeat. If something didn't work, I want to know why it didn't work so I can evaluate it, learn from it, and lift myself up." b No dramatics. No ego protection. Just a feedback loop: fail, understand why, adjust, move forward. And when the interviewer points out that he seems to court danger — with racing, with risky career moves Cruise doesn't deny it: "I guess I like to have everything on the line. I like to feel that there is something at stake, and I really enjoy that."

David Lean on how to direct actors & shares a funny story that happened during the filming of 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' (1957) "Interviewer: Could you talk about how you work with your actors? Lean: Dangerous subject. Well, it’s intensely personal. I always try not to speak in a loud voice when I’m talking to an actor on the set. I gently take them aside, and I whisper because I don’t want to give the impression, for their sake, that they are being told to do this or that by a teacher. I try as hard as I can to make them suggest something that I want them to think of. The trouble with actors is that it’s a very di cult job with this damned glass eye looking at them all the time. It’s quite di cult talking to all of you here, but I’d rather talk to all of you than I would have a hundred-millimeter lens pointing at me. It’s so concentrated. It’s part of a director’s job, I think, to get the actor to give as good a performance on the stage as he gave to himself in the bath in the morning. So I try to relieve them of their inhibitions. It doesn’t help if you talk from a great height, from a megaphone, as it were. I try to get their confidence. I try to give them confidence. I can’t bear some actors, the rambunctious types who think they know everything. You’ve got to knock them down and make them realize they don’t know everything. If you’ve really done your homework on the script, you, the director, know the part better than any damned actor because you’ve been at it for months. I’ve had lots of actors who want to change dialogue. I see them doing it. I won’t have it. They took on the script and they’ll stick to it. I’m terribly tempted to tell you a rather long story about Sessue Hayakawa. You know, I nd constantly that actors really are not interested in anything but their own parts. We had a scene in 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' (1957) where they had all the troops lined up, and Sessue gets up on the soapbox and talks. We went through a rehearsal, and I said, “What’s wrong?” Because it was the speech and yet it wasn’t the speech. What Sessue had done was to learn all the lines that were only his. He had cut out all the lines that were anybody else’s. The main script was about that thick, and his script was only that thick. He marked only the pages in which he spoke. He had thrown out the rest and bound it together. Now, we came to the scene at the end of the picture. Alec Guinness is looking over the edge of the bridge and he thinks he sees some wires. He goes up to Hayakawa and says, “Colonel Saito, there’s something rather peculiar going on. I think we better go and have a look.” Guinness walked o the bridge, which leads down to the rocks, and Sessue stayed there like a rock. I said, “Go on, Sessue, follow him.” He said, “I follow him?” I said, “Sessue, this is where you nd the wires and where you get killed.” He said, “I get killed?” He had thrown the page away because he had no dialogue. I’ll tell you another story about an actor, though I won’t tell you who it was. He was damn good, but I was kind of dissatisfied. I said, “Look, I understand that an actor is projecting ninety percent to the person he’s playing with, and ten percent is going out toward the camera. I’ve only just realized that you’re putting ninety percent out to the camera, and ten to whom you’re playing with.” It changed his performance immediately." (David Lean's interview to AFI, 1984)
