Cruise Muses on Life, Work
She may not have had a chance to showcase her comedic side on Dawson's Creek, but in real life, Katie Holmes is apparently a laugh riot.
"She's very funny, a great comedian," proud husband Tom Cruise said of his wife of almost a year in an interview with Entertainment Tonight slated to air Thursday.
With his first anniversary fast approaching, Cruise said married life was "all very good, all very lovely," and that he feels "lucky" to be wedded to Holmes, his third wife.
"I have a lot of respect for her as an artist, as a woman," he said. "She's a very strong, gracious woman."
The couple are parents to 18-month-old Suri, and Cruise also has two children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, 12-year-old Connor and 14-year-old Isabella. While the tabloids have recently been buzzing with speculation that a second Cruise-Holmes production is on the way, reps for the couple have denied Holmes is pregnant.
When it comes to juggling his responsibilities as a husband and father with his career as a leading man and studio mogul, Cruise admits that life gets busy.
"Just like everybody else, you just work it out," he said. "We've gotten pretty good at organizing everything. I don't sleep much anyway."
The actor described the atmosphere at United Artists, over which he and producing partner Paula Wagner took control last year, as "kind of like film school…like a dorm with all hands on deck. We're all very supportive and very honest."
The studio's first production, Lions for Lambs, starring Cruise, Robert Redford (who also directed) and Meryl Streep is slated for release on Nov. 9, while Valkyrie, starring Cruise as a Nazi war hero is due out in June 2008.
Cruise told E! News Thursday at the Lions for Lambs premiere that signing on to play a U.S. senator in the political thriller was a no-brainer.
"When Redford said, 'I want you to do it,' that was it," he said. "Then when Meryl's involved, it's like, 'Okay,' and then you read it."
The onetime Outsider star aid that he based his role on "an amalgam of people in that field," and he attributed the film's combination of authenticity and watchability to Redford's sure hand with the subject matter.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is "very versed in this, so there were always great pieces of direction he was able to give me," Cruise said. "Also, we're dealing with a political thriller, but Redford's also a guy who wants to entertain an audience."
With acting, producing and promoting checked off his to-do list, Cruise tells ET that directing is in his future. Meanwhile, he told E! that he'll confine his congressional activities to the big screen.
"I'm an actor," he said when asked whether he might consider a run for office one day. "It's fun to play that character and I certainly know it's not an easy job. But it gave me a great reality on their challenges that they have to meet, so that was cool."
