Evidently he took one look at it and decided against the idea. Sometimes things sound good in theory, I guess.
Regarding his sanity, I think he is a tormented soul. Can you imagine having anything you want, when you want it (except a newly birthed placenta), more wealth than you can spend, with the whole world fawning over you and watching your every move? Add to that his spiritual bitterness towards Catholicism, his parents and the wierd ideas of Scientology, and you get - Tom Cruise.
I think we should keep him in our prayers...
