More quotes by 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 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
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
In my own life if I knew I was going to pass away I'd love to sit down and resolve every issue so I could go peacefully.
John Travolta
My road trips have been to Vegas, but you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
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
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 like to fly at least once a day.
John Travolta
It is about getting a sense of integrity about issues. That was was my enlightenment over it and knowing that I had a safe place to go to handle anything in life.
John Travolta
Christopher Walken was probably the most experienced dancing partner I've had in movies, because he has the same background as I do. He's from theatre, Broadway and off-Broadway, and we both shared that.
John Travolta
If you are going into show business for money and power, forget it! It won't happen. You don't go for that first.
John Travolta
A lot of actors never talk to other actors about how they're doing things, or why. I think it's important to share the way you're thinking.
John Travolta
Hollywood is controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect favors in return for sexual activity.
John Travolta
I wouldn't trade my career with anybody's. I'd trade a few movies with Tom Hanks - 'Apollo 13 and 'Forrest Gump' - but other than that, I love my career.
John Travolta
The only thing I ran into is that I am a wanderlust, as far as travel and adventure. I will go off on any given moment with the family and friends to explore the world. I go around the world once a year. I go to Africa, you know, Russia, wherever... I love it.
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 do feel fortunate in that I am probably allowed more often to be a character actor then most actors are allowed to be, and I don't take that lightly or superficially at all. I mean, I really do appreciate it.
John Travolta
I have 12 paintings of Kaufman art. He is an amazing artist.
John Travolta
Every day my mother had tea. My dad has his ritual cigar. They had their evening cocktail. Those rituals were done nicely, with flair and feeling.
John Travolta
I don't think I'm very cool as a person. I'm just better than anyone else at acting cool.
John Travolta
