“When I married John [Travolta], 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.”
“Communication is huge. Continue playing. People will let their marriage go but you have to have fun, play, have date night, you know, make it last. We check in with each other. What’s wanted and needed? We keep it alive and playful and fun. And we don’t push each other’s buttons.”
“Keep checking in and keep growing and changing. Keep doing things.”

“Do what you can, enjoy yourself, and don’t live in fear.”
“I look at my life and just say, ‘Whoa!’ I appreciate life all the time. It’s not something you ever really get used to. I’ll be sitting there doing something really normal with the kids and then all of a sudden I hear, ‘Whoosh!’ and see the lights of the airplane and he’s like, ‘Honey, I’m home!’ Growing up, Johnny thought everybody would have a plane in their backyard. And he made that dream a reality.”
“Don’t sweat the small things. Love your kids like it could be the last moment.”
