Tom Cruise is back on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated). But this time, there's no couch-jumping involved.

Tom appeared on the show and talked about his children. Oprah asked him what his "dream" for his family was. Tom said this: "That they find out what gives them pleasure in their work, so that it's not work." He also wished happiness upon his family members, saying that he has been fortunate in his own life to get to do something that he loves.

"I wish that for them -- the happiness," Tom said of his family. All in all, it was a pleasantly normal appearance for him on the show.
