Katie Holmes : Robot in the OFF Position

On the strength of her marriage to Tom Cruise:

“I try every day to make Tom know how much I love him. It gets better and better. It has made my life.”

“Tom and I stay in really good communication with each other,” Katie says. “I talk to him about anything, at any time. He works 48 hours straight, comes home, and if I ask, “Would you help me with this?” he’ll do it. He wants to.”

On his help during the birth of their daughter:

“I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive human being. He had the room ready, candles everywhere, pictures in frames. It was very homey and beautiful”.

On Suri growing up:

“Nowadays, Suri is talking up a storm, running around, so aware,” says Katie. “She loves colouring and creating. She’s a great mimic and dancer. She came to the photo shoot yesterday and was into all the shoes. I’m mostly shocked at how quickly she grows.”

On the strength of her friendships with her girlfriends:

“It’s so cool when you see women working together, being friends. I like having girlfriends. I went to an all-girls academy for high school and I still have friends from back then. There wasn’t any backstabbing. We helped each other get through school, get through the proms, find dates, make the dress.” The myth of mean girls is overblown, Katie says. “You find out your girlfriend is having a baby or getting married and you want to be there for her. That’s powerful. That’s what we as women do for the world.”

On positive thinking:

“It’s a conscious choice,” she says. “If I don’t like something, I just get through it; I don’t focus on it. I want to make decisions based on what’s best for everyone, including myself. I want to wake up and feel good about who I am. I want to go to sleep knowing I made my family happy, I made myself happy, and I worked hard in all aspects of my life,” she says. “It’s really pretty simple.”
