More quotes by John Travolta
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.
John Travolta
There's no rule that everyone has to change.
John Travolta
I like to fly at least once a day.
John Travolta
I will direct one day, but I have a feeling that it will be very limited.
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 don't think I'm very cool as a person. I'm just better than anyone else at acting cool.
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
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
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
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 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
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
Everything is on its way to somewhere.
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 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
When I was a very little boy I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes.
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 feel very fortunate for audiences to have been so gracious as to allow me to do pretty much any role that I felt I could do. They let me play a president. They let me play a lawyer. They let me play a hit man. They let me play a father. They let me play Howard Saint.
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
