The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters.

I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I'd have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country kind of like a Johnny Appleseed and sing.

I don't know what to say to that but I have to agree with Johnny that yeah we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain we cry get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment.

Because of my tremendous respect for Bob Barker and for the show's high standards of professionalism I consider this a tremendous honor that few announcers have ever been treated to. Both Rod's and Johnny's shoes are huge I can't think about filling them.

I love Johnny Cash and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business but no he's never been the rebel.

Everybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

That was the day I began cutting classes and returning to TV tapings it ultimately led to a friendship with Johnny O and an increasing fascination and respect for what he did.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said 'Oh you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.

The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous but I didn't really know what that entailed.

My dad was a huge country music fan but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings Conway Twitty George Jones Johnny Paycheck even.

I think working with Johnny Depp was very intimidating. It was my fault though. I mean he's a total cool nice nice guy but I was just so I don't know overpowered by his presence. Like he's a very mystic person. He's older so I never really warmed up around him. I was so stiff.

If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp. He is cool.

I didn't want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I'm not that cool so I might as well stick with my birth name.

When I did it with Johnny it was almost a telepathic kind of communication.

Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the '50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together.I would hear him sing every night.

I got to work with one of my heroes Johnny Depp and to see how he goes about business which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.

I've always been a guy who's pretty supportive its just my nature so I came in to the situation with the attitude that I wanted to support Johnny and make it work.

It's a fundamental social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that it sounds like 'Well yeah ' but you start to think 'Why not though?' What makes one more valuable than another?

I would love to work with Anthony Hopkins I would love to work with Meryl Streep I would love to work with DeNiro I would love to work with Johnny Depp I'd love to work with Brad Pitt Matt Damon Gwyneth Paltrow... I think she's amazing.

You know Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work and every single piece that he does is amazing.

But it was great we sit in the same dressing room where like Johnny Cash sat and Willie Nelson and all those guys. That was in itself something amazing - I was on the same space these guys stood on ya know?

Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child's confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers' lives including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson.
