Cruise's 'don't stop' motto

Actor Tom Cruise's mantra of superstardom in Hollywood is to work non stop and turn a deaf ear to his critics.
The 'Top Gun star, who is married to actress Katie Holmes with whom he has a four-year-old daughter Surie, admits his motto is "don't stop" as he just gets on with things, Showbiz Spy reported online.
"Don't worry about the pressures of life, think positive and get through it.I'm just forging ahead. Don't stop, that's what I say. Don't stop. I've heard so many things, going back to Top Gun and Rain Man and Born on the Fourth of July - 'He's not going to make another movie'; 'He's just a teen idol'; 'It's going to destroy his career'," Cruise said.
"People are going to say whatever they're going to say. I've read it and seen it all before. That's just the way it is. What are you going to do?," he added.
The 48-year-old actor also took a dig at the critics who feel that movies like his latest action film 'Knight and Day', where he starred opposite Cameron Diaz, don't require much acting skill.
"It requires a tremendous amount of skill. You have comedy, drama and action and it's very dynamic so it's actually four times the workload. Action movies are difficult and this has everything I love in movies. We did everything we could to make it non-stop, unpredictable fun," Cruise said.
"The repartee between us was just boom-boom-boom. Cameron's style of humour is unique and I love the way she can mix physical comedy with romance," he added.
