I’m a good listener. I think it’s the one characteristic that’s most important. I’ve always been that way. Not that I take all the advice, but you’ve got to listen to it and have the courage to make your own decision. Then I just go for it.

Tom Cruise

I feel good about the decisions that I made and I’m happy. You know, I’m really happy.
