NEW YORK, New York -- It was more than just love at first sight for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
"I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her," Tom told the December 7 issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

The magazine's "Holiday/Reinvention Issue" has two separate interviews and "Double" split covers for its upcoming issue - one with Katie and one with Tom. Both interviews are by writer Lynn Hirschberg.
Tom bought the ring shortly after their first date. And the feeling was mutual -- according to Tom, Katie later told him that she had had a crush on him for years, even dreaming of marrying him as a little girl.

"I was completely in love," Katie told the mag of meeting Tom, admitting that her feelings starting young. "I admired him growing up - he's Tom Cruise! I... maybe had his photo up on my wall."
The couple have been the center of a tabloid tornado since beginning their whirlwind romance in April 2005, with Tom grabbing a number of headlines for his unexpected exploits - from jumping on Oprah's couch to his successful surprise appearance at Matt Lauer's recent Friar's Club roast. In 2005, Tom called the newsman "glib" as he argued heatedly about anti-depressants.
"My feeling is, go big or go home," Tom said in the T interview, laughing off past controversies.

But there's one thing he wants to keep to keep to himself, speaking regretfully of placing his new family in the "adventure" of superstardom. It's Katie who wouldn't want go back to the way things were.
"No," she said. "My life has expanded."
In the interview, Tom also talks about his latest film, "Valkyrie," his film choices over the course of his career, coming out to LA for the first time to meet up with Sean Penn, and his recent roast of Lauer.
Katie, photographed for the mag in an "Old Hollywood" motif, discusses her turn on Broadway currently in "All My Sons," growing up in Toledo, Ohio, her first early auditions, and spending time with daughter Suri.
Videos of Tom and Katie in the mag's "Screentest" series can be seen here.

404Poor Katie, Dreamed all her life of marrying Maverick, only to find she is stuck with Chicken Little, a wackentologist control freak who took advantage of her naivety, and knocked her up to trap her. Now she is miserable, but forced to put on her game face and play the happy houseboy until she gets her first opportunity to grab Suri & dash for freeedom.report abuseposted December 14, 2008 1:54 AM PST

ClaudiaKIt is too bad that she does not want to return to a more private life for the sake of Suri, that would be the best thing for this little girl and give her more stability. She is growing up with cameras in her face constantly and being followed all the time, a lot of stars just as famous knew from the start to keep family private, look at Tom Hanks, Jodie Foster, John Travolta, they did it!report abuseposted December 5, 2008 8:27 AM PST

Apache1You people amaze me. First of all for the idiot who says Katie hasn't been in anything since Tom. Hello, Broadway and 2 movies. And how are his beliefs any stranger than an angel visiting a teen age girl and announcing that God just made her pregnant. We all have the right to believe in anything we want. I think his jumping on a couch was sweet.report abuseposted December 5, 2008 4:20 AM PST

Lucky LoveThe first woman that Tom Cruise was married to no one ever hears about her. Tom is just mad that he is not the big star that he used to be. He has an ego problem. I think that he just does things to get his career attention.report abuseposted December 5, 2008 12:14 AM PST

Lucky LoveHe is not jumping on the couch anymore because the honeymoon is over. Tom Cruise looks like he has a dark personality. He is nice to look at, but I do not know about marriage other than his money. Poor Katie has not been in anything since she married that man. I guess she is well taken care of. Scientology what in the heck is that. I would not have converted to that.report abuseposted December 5, 2008 12:11 AM PST

AquapoetIf you're old enough that your wife "dreamed of marrying you as a little girl" then you need some serious help. I feel sorry for Katie when she realizes she married a controlling psycho with a mid-life crisis. She's going to waste the best years of her life and youth on him, just like Nicole did.report abuseposted December 5, 2008 12:09 AM PST
