I had such a good time working with John Woo and John Travolta, and it was so professional. I want to work with people who are real professionals.
Every time John Travolta assaults a masseur, a scientologist gets their wings.
You know, you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool - 'Saturday Night Fever,' Brian De Palma, handsome young god. . . he, in reality, is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices, making people laugh.
That's what's interesting about people. It can be funny, but when [John] Travolta got there and did [comic moments] you're like, "Oh! This is really funny. " Or when Karen [Gillan] and Taissa [Farmiga] do something, I'm like, "This came out so much funnier. "
I love John Travolta, who came off that Kotter show. Nobody knew he could dance or do all of those things. He is like - boom. Before he knew it, he was the next big Brando or something.
I loved the idea of Travolta sitting on the kid's swing, pining away for his girlfriend.
