What a shocking interview! We learn all we wanted to know and so much more! Katie has road rage! She had a lawn cutting business when she was young! Tom is AMAZING! Her life is AMAZING!
WHAT MAKES YOU ANGRY?
Let's see. I do have a lot of patience but I have trouble when I'm driving in traffic. And I don't have a lot of patience with lateness and stuff like that, but for the most part I can go with the flow.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER?
I threw a lot of tantrums when I was little and secretly I'd like to throw a tantrum sometimes. That would be empowering, but I have a little girl who likes to do that, too. She is amazing.
WHAT WAS YOUR WEIRDEST EXPERIENCE WITH A FAN?
As you can imagine, there have been many being married to Tom. I was in Boston for my little nephew's baptism and this girl interrupted the ceremony to ask for my autograph. I thought:
"Great, here I am in church and in trouble again! The priest is going to be mad at me." That was weird. But it was amazing!
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE?
Finishing the New York Marathon. It was amazing! Turning the corner when you're about to reach mile 20 you feel like you've been running for days. The guy in front of me told his friend, "Don't worry. Six more!" I'm thinking, "Six more? That's like an hour on a good day!"
IS THERE A COUNTRY YOU'VE DREAMED OF VISITING?
I would like to go back to China. I've been to Shanghai and it was truly amazing.
WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF HEAVEN?
Falling in love with Tom and our daughter. I'm such a lucky woman. Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming, my life is so amazing.
WHAT WERE YOUR DREAMS AS A CHILD?
To marry my amazing husband, Tom Cruise! (Laughs)
HOW DID YOU MEET TOM?
He made a list of actresses that he thought he could boss around, and I was the last choice on his list. Jessica Alba was first. No one else was interested, so here we are, and it's been amazing ever since. He's the most amazing man in the world. I'm so happy. I love him. I feel like he's made my life.. well, amazing.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM?
He's just amazing. He's kind, generous, smart, he's Tom Cruise - he's the most artistic man I've ever met.
He makes me laugh like I've never laughed. He's made me feel joy like I never have before. There are so many things. He's the most amazing human being I know.
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR WITH?
Tom and Suri.
WOULD YOU LIKE MORE CHILDREN?
That would be amazing, but we'd need to find a donor first
IS IT HARD TO BALANCE MOTHERHOOD WITH A CAREER?
No, not at all. It's fun. I find it amazing. (Like it would be hard with her endless supply of cash)
WHAT WAS THE DEFINING MOMENT YOU REALIZED YOU WERE FAMOUS?
I landed the part in Dawson's Creek when I was 18. I had just graduated from high school and I was soon earning a lot of money.
I did what every other 18-year-old girl from my town would do, which was I bought a pair of jeans and a great sweater which wasn't on sale.
I thought: "Wow. I better not buy anything for a really long time. I don't want to let it go to my head. But now that I'm so amazingly wealthy, I buy thousands of dollars worth of crap, just because I can. I'm so super famous that I need bodyguards and handlers, etc. It's amazing."
ARE YOU VERY CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT WORKING OUT?
I try. I grew up in an environment full of athletes and unfortunately I wasn't one of them. My parents are very healthy. We would all go running on Thanksgiving. I mean, what family does that? My family is truly amazing.
DO YOU WATCH YOUR DIET?
I'm like every girl out there, except I'm married to a very rich gay man who is way shorter than me who controls everything I say and do. Tom watches what I eat for me. As you can see from my body, I'm not allowed to eat much. Still, he's amazing."
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST REGRET?
That I ever let this Scientology bullshit into my life. I can't tell you the last time I had a real thought or idea of my own.
WOULD YOU RATHER BE RICH AND FAMOUS OR POOR AND ANONYMOUS?
I don't think anyone really believes they are going to grow up and become rich and famous. I certainly didn't. But here I am, and it doesn'tget any richer or famous than this. It truly amazes me.
It's never been about fame or wealth for me. I've always been a hard worker. I had my own grass-cutting service when I was young.
