- "Whenever I hear Tom Cruise bashing, I pipe up and tell them about my experience with him working on the set of TAPS. He was exceedingly not only gracious but kind. There was such a genuine sweetness to him. He would always seek me out, even from a distance, make eye contact and smile. It was as though he needed reassurance and was giving it both at the same time." [from Cult Film Freak's Kill or Be Killed: Brenda Currin Double-Billed Interview by James M. Tate]
