Steven on Tom and Tom on Steven

Some quotes I’ve found from the guys about each other:

IOL says Steven would have made WotW earlier if it wasn’t for Independence Day:
“I said: ‘Oh man, this would make an amazing movie.’ When Independence Day came out I said: ‘Well, maybe I won’t make it,’ because they kind of picked the bones of that and put me off for a while.” But a desire to work with Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise brought back his urge to make the film. He adds: “I got interested in it again just in the course of trying to find something to do with Tom.”

And Tom on working with Steven (ContactMusic.com):
Tom Cruise has praised legendary director STEVEN SPIELBERG for always knowing exactly what he requires of his actors, so not a second is wasted on set.
Cruise, who has teamed up with Spielberg on MINORITY REPORT and the upcoming WAR OF THE WORLDS remake, was surprised at just how economically the film-maker approaches his craft. He tells British magazine HOTDOG, “Steven just is fast. Some people think, ‘Well I gotta take a lot of time to figure this out.’ No. We show up on the set and he’s deadly accurate in his choices and the direction.”

I guess these guys have a LOT of fun and satisfaction in their jobs working together! I wonder which project will be next!
