Cruise's personal mission impossible

Speaking at a press conference today in Rome for Mission: Impossible 3, Tom Cruise said, "My own mission impossible was getting here. That was the mission impossible. Because it kept going back and forth. I wasn't going to come and then Kate said, you know, 'Go. Go.' So I'm here. And I'll be here for a few hours and then I'll get back on an airplane and go back home to Kate and Suri. My daughter has just been born and I want to be close to her. I thought about not coming to Rome, but Kate said go and have fun." Cruise also revealed recently that Suri was born exactly a year to the day that he met Katie for the first time.
