There is nothing strange, creepy, or inappropriate about John Travolta .
When we live our lives everyday, we’re met by opportunities, and most of us don’t even recognize them.
I’m just a big believer in ‘you must love yourself before you can love anybody else,’ and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships...
If you feel glamorous, you definitely look glamorous.
I’m happiest when I have something to focus my energy on.
I always feel like I have to prove myself as an actor, otherwise you get lazy if you’re not slightly terrified that you’re going to fail all the time.
Being a movie star is a quality that somebody sort of embodies, and being a celebrity is something that people give to you. It has to do with being recognizable, as opposed to something that people recognize in you. I just hope to make good movies. I know that sounds simple, but it’s true.
I’m not telling people where to give money, but if there is to be a spotlight shed on me, then I’d like to direct that spotlight onto causes I think are worthy or onto interesting, progressive figures.
I like taking parts where I’m like: “I don’t know how I’m going to do this exactly but I know I can do it.” As opposed to doing something where you go: “There’s nothing that I can contribute to this.”
Improvisation has never been my strong point.
I don’t think about being sexy, being seductive. What you don’t want to see is somebody trying to be sexy. That’s the most unsexy thing.
I’m very comfortable with my sexuality, my body, my face – well, sometimes I’m not comfortable with my face, but it’s stuck there and there’s nothing I can do about it.
It’s so difficult to feel comfortable in the body you have. You always want to look a different way, taller or thinner, whatever it may be. I still struggle with it. I think everybody does.
I don’t think I need too much help. I think my head’s on pretty straight, and I’m pretty realistic about things. I’m very focused, so that certainly prevents me from going all over the place.
I’d rather be really good at something or not do it at all.
I’ve never considered myself a femme fatale as I’ve never seduced anyone and ruined their lives. At least as far as I know.
You have to believe that you can act and that you’re the right person for the job but I think it’s good to not always know how you’re going to do it. The fun part is trying to figure it out.
I love to sing. I don’t think it’s strange for singers to act, or painters to sculpt. I don’t want to ever feel like I’m cornered into one expression of creativity because I’m successful at making films or being an actor. I guess it’s best to not paint yourself into that corner.
