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
I learned early on that there are certain things you can control in the press, and things you cannot.
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
One of the things about the whole Harley motorcycle culture is that it's a little bit renegade.
John Travolta
I told my manager, 'If we can't do the things now that we want to do, what good is the power?... Let's test it and try to get the things done that we believe in.'
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 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 have 12 paintings of Kaufman art. He is an amazing artist.
John Travolta
You feel alive to the degree that you feel you can help others.
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 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
I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
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
The women I liked when I was growing up, as a little boy, were Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, because they had these curvaceous figures, and they were erotic to me.
John Travolta
I've never had that concern of thinking of myself as stupid.
John Travolta
As you get older, you have to force yourself to have new dreams. For instance, I've been flying for 37 years, but now teaching others to fly is interesting for me. Sometimes you have to find new angles on life to keep you interested, like sharing successes and inspiring and helping others.
John Travolta
Dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
John Travolta
I'm a jet jockey and I've always escaped ever since I was a kid. I've always been a weekend type runaway person. Work hard, play hard type thing. It's not been a mid-life thing at all, it's been a habit because I think it changes your environment and how you feel even if it's for the day. It's a good thing.
John Travolta
Even if the script's well written there's something about the life of an improvisation that resonates better than a written word, sometimes.
John Travolta
It's easier to be responsible for the decisions that you've made yourself than for the ones that other people have made for you.
John Travolta
