I played football in the ninth and 10th grade. I looked a lot like Joe Namath, so I think my looks got me there more than my abilities.

More quotes by John Travolta
I learned early on that there are certain things you can control in the press, and things you cannot.
John Travolta
For a while, I was saying 'no' way too often. I turned down 'An Officer and A Gentleman,' 'Splash' and 'Midnight Express.' I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working - I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean - which wasn't necessarily bad.
John Travolta
I love watching old movies, and some of the holiday-themed ones are really great. I also have a bizarre thing that I'll do: I'll turn on a foreign-language TV station, usually Spanish, and watch a whole show, riveted, even though I have no idea what anyone is saying. I don't know why I find that so addictive, but I do!
John Travolta
I think, for sure, 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Pulp Fiction' were kind of bookends for - or the pillars of - my career.
John Travolta
I am not at all computer literate in real life. I haven't yet found a reason to be. Once I find a reason why I need to be on the Internet, then I will be.
John Travolta
Your life starts to take shape at 30. You don't have to make excuses for who you are anymore.
John Travolta
After nine or 10 years of being interviewed, you start wanting to team up with the reporter and get the job done.
John Travolta
Money and power come as a byproduct of things well done.
John Travolta
I think my friend Tom Hanks knows me. He understands me very well. He’s always had a sort of parental feeling toward me. He knows I’m a big mush ball, which is just part of my personality.
John Travolta
I've done so many interviews that I've gotten past the ego and the personality. I used to feel that there might be something missing, but a few years ago I realized that I was so causative over how the interview went that I was no longer concerned over the effects of the interview.
John Travolta
There's no rule that everyone has to change.
John Travolta
I had a bike the first time I moved to L.A. I had a Honda and I got around on that. But I'd never ridden Harleys.
John Travolta
You just activated a nuclear warhead, my friend.
John Travolta
The good and wonderful thing about my whole career is that I've always felt that the audience, if I do it well, will track wherever I go, whether it's President or a lawyer or bad guy or good. All I have to do is execute the material enough where they buy into it. I've had the great luxury of the audiences accepting that.
John Travolta
My road trips have been to Vegas, but you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
John Travolta
I've ridden a bike since I was 18. It was the first transportation when I came to Hollywood because it was inexpensive and easy for me.
John Travolta
I think what you have to do is have a box office success in every genre and then you're set for life. And fortunately, I happened to do that, so I get a myriad of offers of various sorts.
John Travolta
I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole beingness of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.
John Travolta
I believe in love and marriage, but not necessarily with the same person
John Travolta
He lives with his creativity in high gear.
