"[I'll return] if I can make 'em at a level I want to make 'em," Cruise told MTV News.

"Thing is, I've never wanted to compromise. If we can figure that out, I love making them. As a producer, they're a lot of fun. As an actor, they're really a blast and challenging."

Cruise went on to say that his inspiration for the Mission: Impossible films is based in a deep fondness for the material upon which the movies are based.

"I just remember watching it at home on television. I loved the music and the whole thing with the gadgets and the team and the places they would go to," Cruise explained.

"It was kind of a family event for us. When I went to Paramount the first time to produce it, they weren't really turning TV series into movies, but I was pretty excited about it. To be today at #4 is pretty cool."
