He once talked about his career in an interview in 2008 and stated,

“I guess I went from being a young leading man to being just kind of a hack actor. … When I came to Hollywood, I was pretty much a stage actor, and I expected everybody to be quiet. And they weren’t. They were doing their job, and you’re expected to do your job, and you’re sort of this ongoing co-existence. I was a little bit of an arrogant jerk. Now, it’s a little bit more like, ‘Okay, I realize you have to pat me down with powder every three seconds.’ And I stand there, and I’m a little more tolerant … I think I had my time, I dropped the ball, as my father would say, I think I could have done more with my career than I did, and I sort of got sidetracked. But that’s OK, that’s all right, that’s the way it is. No sour grapes, I mean, I don’t have any regrets. Except that I could have played some bigger parts.”

Relationship

It seems he is not good at dealing with women as he has married and divorced multiple times. He first married in the year 1979 with an actress Margot Kidder. John was the second husband of his first wife and their marriage lasted only for six days.
