John Travolta Filmography

• "Certainly after September 11 happened and my favorite thing in the world, which is the airlines, was used to do something so completely destructive, it saddened not just me but everyone else in the world."
• Asked when he was mobbed the worst: "June of 1978 in London, when I was promoting Grease. The ceiling of our car was caving in, while the fans rocked us back and forth. I thought, Oh God, I'm gonna die in my limo!"
• On how to maintain a happy high-powered marriage: "I think communication has helped our marriage. We just negotiate and communicate until we're both happy about whatever subject it is."
• About his role in CARRIE (1976): "I wanted to work with DePalma. I knew the film would be interesting and attract a lot of attention."
• "There's hardly anything I wouldn't do for Quentin [Tarantino]. But I know...he already feels paid back by my doing a good job. I know Quentin doesn't feel I owe him anything...I don't think there's ever been anyone who's genuinely loved me more than Quentin. He doesn't want anything back other than my well-being, and every time I think about the purity of that, it makes me want to cry or something...and Steven Spielberg--he's the one who called me and told me to do the Nora Ephron movie [Michael]. So with Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg, I think I have the best guardian angels that the planet has to offer."
