Some quotes...
what's the quote: "John, he's got plenty to learn, but

who's quoted: James Cagney, 1980
what's the quote: Interviewer: "Did you cast John
Travolta because of his popularity on "Welcome Back, Kotter"?"
BDP: "No. I cast him before that. In fact, I never saw that series. He doesn't have a
big part in "Carrie".
But John was always the best for the role. He helped immensely. He was very cooperative,
very helpful."
who's quoted: Brian DePalma, the director of
"Carrie"
what's the quote: "John taught me about the
roller-coaster ride of celebrity.
You're only as good as your last movie. He said he figured
out what was important to him - what he liked doing and
how he wanted to live - instead of trying to get other's approval"
who's quoted: Kirstie Alley, coaster of "Look who's
talking"
what's the quote: "I lose so many wedding rings that
every time I see her it's a new one," Travolta says in the January issue of Harper's
Bazaar. But his wife, Kelly Preston isn't threatened by his absentmindedness.
"I know he's not fooling around or anything," she said. "It's just that he
goes to the spa and loses them. He gets in the car and loses them. He loses them on the
set, or at dinners. Sometimes we find them again. He has a box of them by the bed."

especially his lips"

what's the quote: "It drove me crazy in the last five
years seeing John in the
movies he's been in. I looked at them and said "Why aren't
the directors taking advantages of him?" Don't they know
they have this great natural resource out there?"
who's quoted: Quentin Tarantino, 1994
what's the quote: "I've promised myself that I'm going
to play hardball, not be charmed by this guy who everybody tells me is a sweetheart, and

broad white smile and flashes eyes that twinkle with joy and intelligence and I
immediately turn into a moronic ass kisser."

who's ever actually knocked on my trailer door just to

Arrow"
