When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.

Lauren Bacall

Legends are all to do with the past and nothing to do with the present.

Lauren Bacall
