Quote

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.

I learned early on that there are certain things you can control in the press, and things you cannot.

My son was autistic, and he suffered from seizure disorder every 5 to 10 days. He would suffer a seizure that would last 45 seconds to a minute and sleep for 12 hours.

Everything is on its way to somewhere.

I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis Presley, but part of the reason I didn't go the way they did was because of my beliefs. People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don't know what they're talking about.

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.

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.

One of the things about the whole Harley motorcycle culture is that it's a little bit renegade.
John Travolta
Image
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.

There are two areas where you can't stop people misbehaving: eating and sex

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.

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
Image
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.

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.
