Cruise went on to say, “It’s just an emotion for me. It’s something that is not paralyzing. It doesn’t bother me,” adding, “I enjoy any endeavor in life. People can be afraid to do something, and I’m like, ‘OK, I want to.’ I don’t mind kind of confronting it and going in … People can be quite frightened about the unknown, and I never have been.”
