When promoting the book with the BBC, Tom revealed that he has had his on-set moments of disrupting productions, saying, “I have pulled every single one of those moments of behavior myself on a set.”

He then added, “Not everybody is at their best every single day on a motion picture set.” Tom went on to explain, “I’ve had tough days trying to be a professional when my life has been falling apart in more ways than one and the requirement for me that day is to be funny, charming, and loving — and it’s the last way I feel.”

And while Tom admits to having moments of not always being the happiest on set, he did say that when it comes to delaying a production, that is a big no-no in his book, saying, “What cannot occur on a motion picture is that someone cannot monkey around with the timing or the length of the shoot or the budget. That is a cardinal sin in the motion picture business.”

He went on to add, “You’d be amazed at how many people know that they can get away with it, and are told they can get away with it, because they are carrying the movie on their shoulders.”
