John Travolta Biography

On himself:

“I've hit a milestone in my life; turning fifty and if I waited any longer I'd have to write two books. I've had such a full life, I really want to share it.”

“I often look back on those days with fondness, but I don’t think I’d even try to wear those outfits from Saturday Night Fever now. I love my food.”

On his faith:

"I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis, 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."

His career:

"I wouldn't trade my career for anyone's except Tom Hanks,' I don't think. Other than Forrest Gump and The Green Mile, which I was offered and should have done, and Splash was written for me, I still like my career better because of what I specifically contribute to it."

On flying:

“I find flying extroverting - it puts your attention outside yourself - you're responsible for a machine that is going through the air at 600mph. The sensation is thrilling and there is a beauty and an art to it.”
