Cruise's oddball internet rant

The Sun, UK/January 16, 2008

A bizarre video of Tom Cruise rambling about Scientology is appearing on website YouTube.

The clip shows the Mission: Impossible star saying he is "dedicated" to taking the alien-obsessed cult to the masses.

He rants: "I'd like to go on vacation and go and romp and play. But I can't because I know. I know. I have to do something about it."

He adds: "I look at it and say this is it... I think it's a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist. 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.

"Travelling the world and meeting the people that I've met, talking with these leaders in various fields, they want help and they are depending on people who know and who can be effective and do it and that's us. That is our responsibility to do that.

"So it's our responsibility to educate, create the new reality. We have that responsibility to say, 'Hey, this is the way it should be done because we do it this way and people are actually getting better.'

"And let's get it done. Let's really get it done and have enough love and compassion and toughness that you're really going to do it and do it right.

"I have to tell you something - it is rough and tumble, and it's wild and woolly, and it's a blast, it's a blast, it really is fun because, dammit, there is nothing better than the going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see things are better.

"I want to know that I've done everything I could everyday, and I think about those people out there who are depending on us. I think about that and it does make me feel that we've got more work. I need more help, get those spectators either in the playing field or out of the arena. Really, that's how I feel about it.

"I do what I can, and I do it the way I do everything. (laughs) There's nothing part-of-the way for me."

"So it's our responsibility to educate, create the new reality. We have that responsibility to say, 'Hey, this is the way it should be done because we do it this way and people are actually getting better.'

"And let's get it done. Let's really get it done and have enough love and compassion and toughness that you're really going to do it and do it right.

"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."

Tom, 45, also brags that members would never pass a car accident, saying "it isn't like everyone else, you know you are the only one that can really help".
