Tom Cruise is finally speaking out about that wacky behavior of his. You know—the couch incident on Oprah, condemning Brooke Shields for anti-depressants, and his fall-out with Paramount Studios. Cruise tells UK’s Mirror that his decisions at that time were flawed.

“There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better.”

Despite his mistakes, he says that all the criticism brought his relationship with Katie Holmes closer together.

“Going through that stuff is not pleasant and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate’s a very sure and confident and strong woman. She gets it, you know.”

And what about little Suri? Tom and Katie seem like the only parents in Hollywood who parade their child in front of the paparazzi rather than shield them. Well, Tom has a reason for that, too.

“I don’t want her to be afraid of people,” he said. “I’m not going to live in fear or have her be frightened of people. She’s very open and warm with lots of love and understanding. She’s happy and fun. She’ll just wave to people in the street.”

Makes sense. And for the big question… are there any more A-list babies in the future?

“We’ll have more children, I’m saying this, but Kate’s not here! She’s working and we’re enjoying this time right now. It’s very precious, we don’t get this time back. That’s why when Suri was born we all just really shut down everything for months, to be with Suri and the kids.”
