Great sex is a byproduct, for me, of a great relationship where you really have communication.\" \n\nTom Cruise is on the record about his life and work and loves\u2026in a revealing May cover story from GQ. Cruise sits for an energetic, funny, and candid interview and talks openly about some of the most controversial public and personal events in his life during the past year. He also appears in an exceptional portfolio of photographs taken exclusively for GQ by Brigitte Lacombe.\n\nThe May issue of GQ hits newsstands nationwide on April 25, 2006.\n\nKaylin last interviewed Cruise for GQ's December 2004 \"Men of the Year\" issue after his startling tour de force performance in Collateral. Since then Cruise has been an inescapable presence.\n\nCruise does not shy away from controversy. Talking about his explosive interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show last spring, he says \"I thought I was pretty restrained. I've been pissed off about things, believe me. I thought it was a terrific interview. I wasn't pissed; I just was intense on wanting to communicate.\"\n\nCruise and Kaylin discuss further criticism he faced last year concerning controversial comments he made about Brooke Shields and her experience with postpartum depression. \"I actually really care about Brooke,\" says Cruise. \"The first film I ever did [Endless Love] was hers, and I remember when I was growing up, and not even being in the industry yet, thinking how talented and beautiful she is. And she's a lovely girl. It's not her fault; she's a victim in this situation. A doctor told her to go on Paxil while she was breastfeeding. Paxil is a vicious drug. Here's someone I deeply care about.\"\n\nWhen Cruise is asked to explain some of what Kaylin has understood about \"a kind of Scientology creation story\u2014an intergalactic conflict\" in the Church of Scientology, he responds \"You say this stuff to me and it's insulting. That's why I'm not even going to dignify what you're saying. There's always a lot of misinformation out there. I'm doing pretty good. Look at the things that have helped me in my life. You hear this other stuff\u2014come on, it's crap!\"\n\nAnd Cruise addresses the question of whether it is damaging for him or his career to talk so strongly and directly about personal issues \"It's the exact opposite. You have no idea how many people have thanked me. You can try to create a PR machine that's going to put out misinformation and discredit someone. But that's not gonna stop me. Ever, ever. It's the right thing to do.\"\n\nCruise was effusively about his romance with Katie Holmes \"Kate\u2014she's just cool. She's kind, she's smart, she's fun. She's a woman who's not afraid to be a woman.\" He talks about surprising her with an engagement ring when he proposed to her at the Eiffel Tower while visiting in Paris \"No, I didn't have it in my pocket, because I was concerned she would see it. I had it in the camera bag.\"\n\nNext up for Cruise is new fatherhood with Holmes and his starring role in Mission Impossible III. He reveals how he discovered that Holmes was pregnant \"Oh, I\u2014I looked at her. And I went, 'You're gonna tell me if you're pregnant, aren't you?' It was a moment where\u2026 It was one of those things. And I knew at that moment she was pregnant. 'Cuz I notice things in people.\"\n\nWith so much on his plate, Cruise talks about the joys and complexities of juggling his career and being a coparent for Isabella and Connor, his two older children with Nicole Kidman. He says, \"What we have is sensational two happy, healthy kids that we share time with. Both parents get to have a great life and get to do something that we love. That's not hard, man. I know hard\u2014when your mom comes home and she can barely walk 'cuz her feet and her back hurt, and where's the food? That's hard. And you realize, we're gonna sink or swim.\"\n\nFinally, Cruise names the role he's been proudest to play in life \"I wanted to be a father. And be a good father. Be a great father. I want to be the best father.\"\n\nThe May 2006 issue also features a handsome portfolio of photographs taken by Brigitte Lacombe. For the March shoot, Cruise piloted his own plane and Holmes flew in separately to be with him at the location, a small airport in California's Mojave Desert. The issue presents an accomplished photographic spread, in color and blackandwhite, across more than ten pages."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
