The Exclusive Interview

Does Tom Feel Misunderstood?

Oprah: Do you feel this past—I would say rather the past three years I guess it's been since you and I talked, you've been misunderstood? And what has been the most misunderstood?

Tom: ... I feel like definitely things have been misunderstood, and [there are] things I could have done better. And I think that where I look at it, I go, "Okay." But then there's also that world where you go, "Oh, it's been spun to such an extent and that's a truth also."

Oprah: Has it taught you anything, Tom, this past three years? What did it teach you?

Tom: I never stop learning. And knowing when and where to communicate, I think that's important.
