These are some of Johnny's most memorable and meaningful quotes. He always speaks his mind whether it be from a song, public function, or magazine article. This is what makes him so wonderful!!

If there were a script or a character I could believe in... It would be very good for my bank account and make my manager happy, but I'm afraid nobody would offer me 20 million dollars for the kind of movie I like.

Well, cars kill too, so do airplanes, and many other things. Now they find that cell phones cause cancer, but I've never seen anywhere "attention, cell phones are bad for your health". I know a lot of people who've died of lung cancer and hadn't smoked a single cigarette in their life. Well, look, no doubt, smoking is not something that's good for your health. Well, I'd say, at the risk of sounding corny, that you have to do everything to a reasonable extent. But how can you take the fact that in L.A., one of the most contaminated cities on the planet, they tell that you can't smoke 'cause your smoke is bothering them'. You know...in L.A., where you breath and it's like you've put your head behind an exhaust-pipe.

Look...things in life are not the way they seem. Ever since I was a kid I had this idea that people are judged by the way they look and not by what they really are -the colour of their skin, the way they dress and speak and many other things. When you listen, for instance, to someone talking, there is another voice beneath his words. Even if you hear clearly what he is saying, the real truth is much deeper, between the lines of his words. Imagine how easily a guy with scissors instead of hands can be misunderstood. (laughs) Well, that's what I've always been interested in and all the characters I've played are such people. They are the ones who seek more attention to be understood, the ones you have to be dedicated in order to understand.

I stole a chord book. I'm admitting it now for the first time. I actually … yeah, I stole a chord book. Mel Bay chord book from a department store. It helped a lot to … you know, at that age, 12, 13, 14 years old, you know, things are going haywire inside, so … yeah, the guitar sort of saved me.

One minute the sun is shining; everything is beautiful; we're making this great film; and suddenly this F14 zooms in and drops a bomb. And we shrug that off and the next thing you know, this enormous cloud arrives. And we were covered in water and half the gear is floating down this desert - what was the desert, which is now a stream. It could get worse. Everyone could have just dropped dead, y'know?

my fascination started when I was very, very young. I think... I think it's basically just... the idea that something so horrific could go... unsolved... and that there're so many possibilities of who it might have been... who it could have been... and SOLID theories, you know? Uhmmmm... this one in particular, the one from... that's in the film... is one that I think is... MOST right because it's... it's not only very possible, you know, but highly probable... that this kind of... coverup... would have needed to have been... been done back then, you know.
