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.

More quotes by 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
I've always thought of, of a relationship with an actor to an audience as a marriage, you know. And a story, you know. And there are ups and downs, and you work through them, and you work with them.
John Travolta
I actually do like playing off-beat people. I think it's more fun.
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
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 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'm too busy looking for the next role to do. I think about how to continue, to survive in the same vein. I like my career and my life as it is.
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
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
It's difficult for me to diet, so I don't. So, I make up for it in exercise. What I am willing to eat, I have to be willing to work off. It's that simple.
John Travolta
So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.
John Travolta
Dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
John Travolta
Your life starts to take shape at 30. You don't have to make excuses for who you are anymore.
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
Princess Diana was a nice dancer because she had confidence. In fact, when we danced together she started to lead, and I looked her in eye and went, 'No, you have to let me lead.' So I grabbed her around the waist and we were off to the races.
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
I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
John Travolta
I have to believe there's some other life force out there. I don't know in what form. But we can't have all these galaxies and universes without something going on.
John Travolta
My frank response to all sex questions is that there is too much significance put on them to begin with. Sex is part of human nature, and I don't know why such a big deal is made out of it.
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
