John Travolta

“I will direct one day, but I have a feeling that it will be very limited.”

“You can't control the quality of projects that are coming to you, so if you get several in a row that are quality, you take them.”

“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.”

“So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.”

“I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.”

“I love Scientology. I've been involved for 38 years, and I don't think I'd be here without it because I've had a lot of losses and different negative things that have happened over the years and it really got me through brilliantly.”

“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.”

“I love fun movies that also have something to say. They tend to stay with me, always.”

“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.”

“I've done so many interviews that I've gotten past the ego and the personality.”

“I don't want to create controversy; I just have an opinion on things, and there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion if you are asked. Everyone wants that right, and because you are famous doesn't mean you have less of a right.”

“When my mother died, it sort of put a damper on things. My career didn't have the same significance or excitement. It had always been about doing well for my family - my brothers, sisters, father, mother. Then something interesting and important happened - I started doing things for me.”

“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.”

“I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.”

“And now after all this time I finally figured out how to trap him... I will become him.”

“Dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.”

“Autism and seizures are the least known areas of illnesses.”

“You just activated a nuclear warhead, my friend.”

“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.”

“I've always had an innate ability to dance, but I'm not as spiffy as those cinema legends like Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.”
