Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, actress Katie Holmes, gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal. In a conversation with reporters, she said that she was trying to combine directorial ambitions with the life of an ordinary person. Holmes stated that she is not chasing fame. The 44-year-old actress now lives in New York with her 16-year-old daughter Suri, who is studying fashion at Fordham University. By the way, the father pays for the education of the girl.

Katie has played on Broadway and worked on personal projects as a director, screenwriter and actress. In the near future, her film “Rare Items” will premiere. The tape will tell about two women who make friends in a psychiatric institution. In addition to her role in the film, she acted as its director and co-author of the script. Filming took place in New York.

Working close to home was great for more than just convenience. Everyone seemed to be a part of this project. And I love New York, so the film is kind of like a love letter to the city. Being able to connect with people who are doing something completely different from you, who have a completely different background – that’s the beauty of this city. It’s a hopeful idea of ​​interconnectedness that we should all strive for, whether we live here or not, Holmes said.

Katie also revealed that she usually gets up at 8 am. The actress starts her day by writing three or four pages of text. It could be a script or just her thoughts. Holmes loves to read and often visits bookstores.

I’m going to start reading The Novelist as a Profession by Haruki Murakami. I just finished “Between Two Worlds” by Zainab Salbi. I’m currently reading “Little Things Like These” by Claire Keegan. I often go to bookstores. And I love to write beautifully. If I see a beautiful sentence in a book, I write it down. Maybe later I’ll think about this sentence outside the context of the book and maybe apply it to the character or the feeling of wanting to shoot something. It becomes a source of inspiration.

Katie Holmes turns 45 this year. The age of the star is philosophical.

I was often told: “Oh, all wisdom will come to you when you are over 40.” And this did not happen. However, I think that there is some truth in this: I feel a little more comfortable in making some decisions and in life in general. And life is a process. You are always learning. I think just accepting it is the best sign of wisdom in and of itself,” the actress said.

Recall that in December last year, Katie Holmes put an end to her relationship with 33-year-old self-taught composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Wooten III. The actress is now asking friends not to mention the name of the former in conversations. Apparently, the couple broke up not on a friendly note. Holmes also refrains from commenting, as, indeed, Wooten III. Insiders say that the reason for the breakup was the frivolity of the relationship.
