Actress Katie Holmes said she believes many people have the wrong idea about her.
Holmes, who married actor Tom Cruise in Italy in 2006 and is currently appearing on Broadway in 'All My Sons', made the comments in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine.
She said "There's a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn't have any control of her life, And that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I've made choices in my life that have been very strong."
"When I met Tom I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up – he's Tom Cruise! … When I met him, he was so warm and I thought, Wow! You can be a superstar and a human being. He made me feel so amazing."
Holmes, who is mother to two-year-old daughter Suri, denied wanting a more anonymous existence, saying "My life has expanded. My family and friends are all part of this bigger life."
