Tom Cruise, in a speech, said, "I know in life, something that is very true to me. To lead is to serve. And I know that to my core.” The actor said, “I’m happy I have been able to be a source of inspiration to many of the sailors who serve today or have served in the past. The effort was not just on my end, but the cast and crew I got to work with on all our sets. They are what bring the work to life.”
