"Portions of Tom Cruise&amp;#039;s deposition from his $50 million lawsuit against the publisher of Life &amp;amp; Style and In Touch magazine have been leaked. This lawsuit was filed in the aftermath of both magazines publishing claims that Cruise cut daughter Suri out of his life following his split from Holmes last year, allegations which he has strenuously denied.  Cruise addressed wide-ranging details of his personal life and former marriage to Katie Holmes in the videotaped deposition. Sections of the actor&amp;#039;s deposition have been leaked in recent days, and the transcripts include the actor acknowledging that he did not see Suri for 110 days following his and Holmes&amp;#039;s separation. &amp;quot;Listen, when there is a divorce\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 things change,&amp;quot; Cruise was quoted in the leaked document as saying, later adding: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not an ideal scene. It&amp;#039;s not an ideal situation.&amp;quot; The deposition also included Cruise acknowledging that he saw Suri for an approximate total of ten days between June until Thanksgiving. Cruise in turn asserted that he was able to responsibly parent Suri via frequent telephone conversations. &amp;quot;You have to work at it,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve gotten very good at it\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I tell [her] wonderful stories and they like hearing it.&amp;quot;  He went on to describe Suri as &amp;quot;a very happy child&amp;quot; who has &amp;quot;a good sense of herself&amp;quot;. Cruise went on to insist that although it is often difficult to arrange schedules during a divorce, he had made an effort to see his daughter. The Jack Reacher actor also rejected suggestions from the opposing attorney that he had committed more time to the Church of Scientology than to parenting. He also disclosed that daughter Suri is not a practicing Scientologist at this point, and appeared to acknowledge that his religion did play a role in the demise of his and Holmes&amp;#039;s marriage. Cruise&amp;#039;s lawsuit is expected to go to trial next summer. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
