Tom Cruise Answers Audience Questions

May 3, 2006 — -- New dad and blockbuster actor Tom Cruise is kicking off the summer movie season with "Mission: Impossible III," the latest installment of the hit "Mission Impossible" franchise.

After a whirlwind promotional tour, he expects to join fiancee Katie Holmes and his new daughter, Suri, at home tonight to resume his fatherly duties.

Holmes "breast-feeds, and I burp," he said. "I burp and I do the diapers. … I've been changing diapers for so long."

Cruise, who adopted two children with ex-wife actress Nicole Kidman, said that the new mom and baby were doing well.

"Suri, she's very strong. She's kicking," said Cruise, who said he was afraid that she would kick herself off the table when he reached for diapers.

Cruise said that he went shopping in Paris for clothes for Suri.

"The fun that I had," he said. "Little girl clothes are incredible."
