| Quotes: |
[While speaking to People magazine about John Travolta] Everything about my husband is sexy, especially his lips.
<br />
<hr>
When I married John, I put my career on hold to be a wife and to have a child. Before that I didn't have a fabulous career, but I was working. When I decided to resume acting, I had become Mrs. Travolta in many people's eyes so I had to prove myself all over again.
<br />
<hr>
People have generally been very respectful and we've not been tabloid fodder.
<br />
<hr>
There's the jiggle factor in Hollywood. Once I was at an audition and they told me "You must show your breasts!" and I was like "Get outta town." I just laughed and slammed the door on my way out.
<br />
<hr>
I've wanted to have babies since I was 11. I always babysat. I was making thousands and thousands of dollars doing commercials and still babysitting for $2.50 an hour. Children are our future -- literally. It's such a cliche, but it's so true. |
