Some select quotes from the "Tom Cruise on Scientology Video" that keeps getting deleted via (Gawker + NY Post + Dlisted)
(Video)
TC on being a Scientologist:
"I think it’s a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist, and it’s something that you have to earn because a Scientologist does... has the ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions. Being a Scientologist, you look at someone and know absolutely that you can help them.
"Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident... you know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one that can really help.
"But that’s what drives me... I know that we have an opportunity to really help... effectively change people’s lives and I am dedicated to that. I am absolutely, uncompromisingly dedicated to that.
"We are the authorities on getting people off drugs, we are the authorities on the mind, we are the authorities on improving conditions... we can rehabilitate criminals.
Scientologists like to learn:
"Now is the time. Being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it. You better know it. And if you don't, go learn it. But don't pretend you know it -- or whatever -- we're here to help.
Scientologists have different vision:
"If you're a scientologist, you see things they way they are, in all its glory, in all its complexity."
Scientologists don't go on vacation:
"I'd like to go on vacation and just romp and play and do that. That's what I want it to be ... but I can't. Because I know. I know. So I have to do something about it. ... You can sit here and wish it was different. You know I have to do something, don't I? Because I can't live with myself if I don't."
Scientologists can't half-ass things:
"You're either contributing everything you can, or you're not. Because I'm carrying my load. And as much as I'm carrying, I still feel like I gotta do more."
"I do what I can and I do it the way I do everything [laughs maniacally]. There's nothing part of the way for me [slaps knee]. It's just whoooo [moves hand upward in rocket motion]."
Scientologists are easily identifiable:
"You can see the look in their eyes, you know the ones who are doing it. And you know the spectators, the ones who are going, 'It's easy for you' ... I've cancelled that in my area of my mind [laughs maniacally]. So it's our responsibility to educate, create the new reality. We have that responsibility to say, 'Hey, this is how it should be done.'"
Scientologists like it rough:
"I have to tell you something, it's rough and tumble and it's wild and wooly and it's a blast. It's a blast. It really is -- fun. Because damnit, there's nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and then you see things are better [cheeks flushed]."
