Holmes, 30, the cover story of the magazines 70th anniversary issue on newsstands March 10, recalls how she ended up as Mrs. Tom Cruise.
"When Top Gun came out my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, Top Gun! Tom Cruise!' And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to marry him one day.' It wasn't like, How do I get Tom Cruise? It was just: I think I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun."
Here are some other excerpts from the interview.
On her day to day life with Tom and their daughter Suri Cruise:
"We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings. [We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play "The Three Little Pigs" and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads story books to Suri and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, he'll break into dance. We'll watch movies in bed-recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We have a really good time."
On married life:
"As a woman, you make the transition from being singe to [being] a partner. I have a teammate."
On being a mom:
"Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience-in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job you have in the world."
On her childhood icons:
"Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett…and Diane Keaton-she's a genius."
On her career:
"Acting-I want to do it all. Bad girl, good girl, complicated girl. Aren't we all complicated?"
