Johnny Quotations | Page 2

Johnny and I spoke a few times over the last week and I strongly encouraged him to sign with the Yankees. It is good to know that our lineup next year will include a natural leadoff hitter whose presence allows Jeter and A-Rod to return to their preferred places in the batting order. Johnny is a good friend and a great guy to have in the clubhouse. I am very excited about having him as a teammate again.

Johnny and Jason worked together for three years in Buffalo . . . so we were very happy to get Jason back.

Johnny can't gain his composure, Ed McMahon is doing his characteristic bull moose guffaw, the band -- the instruments are banging into one another -- the audience is in tears, and every time Johnny would try to gain his composure, he would look at Buddy and it would start all over again.

Johnny Carson, when he and Joanna split after many years of marriage, everybody had it on news. That's big news when big stars have a problem.

Johnny Cash was backstage the night of the taping pacing nervously. I asked him if there was something I could do. I can remember his response like it was yesterday. 'This is a real music show. This matters to me a lot.' That hit me right there that this wasn't your average music show. We'd suddenly taken a dramatic leap out of the stratosphere.

Johnny Cash was not only a giant in our business, but he was one of those guys who had grown to become a cultural icon in America. People associated him with values that I think they held near and dear to their hearts.

Johnny Cash was plenty good enough to fool his fans. They believed he felt it in his soul when he sang the Gospel while stoned on drugs.

Johnny Damon. Just when you think y'all have broke the curse, we put it right back on you. Right back on you.

Johnny Damon said. ''It's going to be pretty interesting when he does.

Johnny Depp gave me the best advice. He said, 'Keep your feet on the ground. Stay grounded. Remember where you came from.'

Johnny Depp was the most polite young actor I've ever worked with.

Johnny didn't have a whole bunch of work, but I think he made a couple of big saves at key times. That's the most important thing. ... (Our goaltending) keeps giving us a chance to win and get some points.

Johnny 'Fairplay' Dalton manufactured a lie about his dear grandmother dying in order to win a challenge. This is one of the best villain moments of 'Survivor' ever! This lie was pre-planned, evil, and perfectly played out.

Johnny felt his greatest gift as a songwriter was the ability to catch the mood of a tune.

Johnny Flynn - he's next year's Player of the Year.

Johnny Grahame was outstanding as far as giving us a chance to win and that is a very important note on why we won the game.

Johnny had a really good winter, and I've told him what he has to do to be the starter. I told Isaiah he needs to be consistent to get us to where we want to go, and that's a bowl game.

Johnny had a sensational game. It just didn't click for us offensively until Johnny took over.

Johnny has a lot of stuff going on the side, but it never affected the way he played on the field.

Johnny has been spitting bullets at me since he's been here because he thinks he should be playing more. We had decided he was ready to take over the No. 1 spot. Then he screwed up.

Johnny has had the most complete week of training with the team since the injury happened. He was very close to being on the bench against Bristol last weekend, but the medical team bought him an extra week just to be absolutely certain.

Johnny is absolutely tailor-made for New York. He has a great supporting cast, he's a fantastic player and getting better with age. He's the ingredient that we needed.

Johnny is an all-rounder, he has the right look, he sings well, dances well and is perfect for the role.

Johnny is like a brother to me and I want to see the positive side. I know there were some boos, but I saw a lot of people clapping, too. You just couldn't hear it over the boos. He did a lot of great things here. He was a big part of us winning in 2004, and he is a great guy. I've seen worse. I wish him the best.

Johnny is outspoken. And he is free to speak his mind. Primarily, we ask our athletes to be premier athletes.

Johnny is very creative and really doesn't belong to anyone but himself. He is in a different category than everyone else, on and off the ice.

Johnny kept us in it. He was quite impressive.

Johnny Knoxville has such an incredible humanity to him when you meet him. He's so warm and so funny, and he can sort of get into trouble and you sort of forgive him immediately.

Johnny Knoxville went from struggling to pay his rent to being on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' in the course of, like, a month.

Johnny Lewis, I mean, he broke out. We had him in our grasp and he just kept getting away from us. I told them he was going to carry it 30-plus times. We knew it, and we still didn't stop him like we needed to.

Johnny made a great screen. It's a credit to him.

Johnny moved on stage in very specific ways, he had a specific guitar strum that contributed to the energy of his performances.

Johnny Pesky always said I would rather be lucky than good. We were lucky against California and not lucky against the Mets.

Johnny played really well as a freshman coming in. He gave us big-time minutes and handled the ball and handled the pressure really well. He knocked down a couple 3s, and it was basically like a trampoline for us.

Johnny played unbelievable, and our defensive zone play was unbelievable.

Johnny Quads is at the top of his field as a writer, editor and a player. His hiring means we are raising the stakes in the world of poker publishing.

Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive. And I think it was the only thing that kept him going, the only thing he had to look forward to.

Johnny Sain doesn't say much, but that don't matter much, because when you're out there on the mound, you got nobody to talk to.

Johnny Sauter, he's a driving machine and he showed it once again today. He not only took his brother (Tim) out but probably a couple of other good cars. It's been a tough start to the year.

Johnny takes it all in stride and we're having a lot of fun with it.

Johnny Unitas. He was so frustrating to play against. He was so frustrating for me to play against. I thought he could read my mind when I called the defenses. He was such a great leader.

Johnny Unitas. Sure, Johnny had the physical ingredients required: lightning quick release, a laser for an arm, good ability to avoid the rush. But what set Unitas apart was the feeling you got in your heart when you saw him walk on the field, something that none of us are capable of defining or explaining, we just feel it. You knew he came to win. And, from the moment he walked into the locker room, you knew you had a better chance to win than the other guy. He was the toughest man I have ever known - physically and mentally.

Johnny was a perfect fit for us. We had a big-time interest in him.

Johnny was the best thing that ever happened to me,

Johnny was the very first book I did.

Johnny works hard and he is as every bit as committed to winning as coach as he was as a player. He came out and coached our defensive backs and that unit had the same competitive fire as he had. They played with his personality.

I think Johnny Depp could play just about any role - I'd love to see what he would do with the Red Queen!

I think Johnny has done very well. Johnny has been under very difficult circumstances, with the way we, or should I say I, managed to get him back into the lineup. But, I think he has handled himself very mature, and he is preparing himself to be our number two.

It couldn't be more fitting to have it go this way. It's been tough, but we got to keep doing what were doing. That's what Johnny would want us to do, and that's what we're going to do.

I suppose you could say he succeeded where Johnny Murtagh and Jamie Spencer failed,

I thought he threw the ball great. He made one mistake. I told him I remember my first walk-off home run, Kansas City, Johnny Damon. It was his first and hopefully it won't be his last, because if you play this game long enough, it's going to happen, especially in the job we perform.

I think that American V may be my favorite of all of the albums in the American series. It's different from the others, it has a much different character. I think that this is as strong an album as Johnny ever made.

It affects the position of the brand. Capital potentially had that issue with Johnny Vaughan.

I think the way we were playing with Kevin in the lineup and A.I. in the lineup, I liked the way we were playing. I liked Johnny and Kyle the way they were coming off the bench.

Ring of Fire, The Johnny Cash Musical Show

Over the course of the season, you're not going to score 10 runs every night. You need to win the 2-1 games, too, and we're not going to have to sit back and wait for a big homer to win a game. We can scratch and claw with Johnny and Derek up top, which is important.

I think one of the most courageous things about Joaquin in that scene is that he sounds not perfect, not at all. He's not brilliant from the get-go, but he's got so much room to grow. And we grow Johnny Cash in the movie - until, by the end, he's awesome!

I was very impressed with Johnny Salmons, his ability to get to the basket, to penetrate, make baskets and find people.

I think the hardest to replace has been Johnny Collins. He was great to play with. You could always rely on him to be available for a short pass, allowing you time to clear a ball. He would never give the ball away.

I think we want to do the right thing instead of the quick thing. Of course, now we know Johnny won't be playing center field for us, so that hastens the process a little bit. But we're not going to rush out and do something quick. We're going to sit down and try to do the right thing.

I think initially people like Johnny Lang, they seemed to be a novelty at the time but nowadays there are so many blues guitarists.

I think it's fair to say that we left the door ajar for a subsequent formal offer. We wanted to sign Johnny Damon. We made a very strong and concerted effort to do so. We're disappointed.

We need an occasional save. Johnny is trying like hell but four goals in 16 shots. It's deflating.

We have talked to Johnny in the past. Johnny is a flamboyant guy, and he makes different analogies. There are certain analogies that are better than others. At the right moment, we will certainly address that with him.

We have talked to Johnny. Johnny is a flamboyant guy. He makes certain analogies. There are some that are more appropriate.

I would love to share the screen with Meryl Streep, wouldn't we all? I would love to work with Spielberg and Scorsese; that would be lovely. I'm also a huge fan of Johnny Depp and the way he creates his characters, so that would be fun. I mean, any of the greats, really.

I would love to work with Johnny Depp. I really admire him as an actor, and personally, in my opinion, his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow is one of greatest performances given by an actor. I love his creative sense and the way he creates a character, so it would be a dream come true to work with him.

My 'Big Bang Theory' costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don't know if I'm that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I'm going to go.

Yesterday was a great practice with guys who came back like Johnny (Salmons) who was very good yesterday, and Kyle (Korver) and Andre (Iguodala). They uplifted the practice with the guys who are here trying to make a team. Everybody played pretty well. It was a great practice yesterday,

(Wide receiver Johnny Lee) Higgins got a lot of attention last week because he scored three touchdowns, but Ebell can hurt you just as much. They don't run the spread offense, but they've got enough threats to stretch you across the field and make things difficult.

Well, this was really kind of out of the blue, ... I mean, Friday afternoon I was in my hotel room packing to go home because I thought even par would miss the cut. I actually bet Johnny Andrews (in the scoring trailer) $286.67 that I was going to miss, and I'll gladly pay him now.

Well, I tried to guard him. That's the key. We played mostly half-court, so it was easier to hold, grab and foul as opposed to when you've got Johnny between the top of the keys. Once in a while when that happened, it was over for me.

Well, it's very simple and it may sound strange, but I am Ghost Rider. It wasn't that challenging ... He's a man trying to take a negative and turn it into a positive ... Johnny Blaze has this horrible thing happened to him and he's going to take that negative and make it a positive, no matter what.

When I'm sick of myself, and when I don't know what to say as a solo artist, I can write a song for a movie. When I don't know where to turn musically, being in a band - Rilo Kiley or Jenny & Johnny - the collaborative nature is really exciting.

We are grateful that Johnny Bench is the namesake for our award because he is, without a doubt, the greatest catcher to ever play the game. We are very excited to have someone of his caliber support our efforts in honoring the accomplishments of these college players.

Yeah, he's going to fit in extremely well. He's a great young man, he's going to bring a lot to the table. The fans are going to love him. He's a hard-hat guy. He's got all the skills out there. He's been getting better and better every year. He's getting better with age. Fans are going to grow to love Coco out there in center field. We all loved Johnny while he was there, but they're going to do the same thing with Coco because he's a special ballplayer and he plays hard.

We're leaving early because Johnny Bench just broke our spirits,

We're not sure who are No. 2 is going to be. As of now, we're just calling him Johnny All-Staff.

Well, the thought came to me that, for many of us who did this show, and for many people who watched the show, just because Johnny left there, didn't give them the closure they needed. But I would say that his passing gave us that closure, because I think we all realize now that he's not coming back.

The contrast between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson was marked,

We opened for Johnny Mathis at the Twin Coaches, ... Can you imagine a rock band like us and Johnny Mathis on the same bill! We always appreciated that opportunity.

When people talk about Johnny Mathis, it feels like they're talking about someone else, ... I'm so busy I don't have time to think about the fact that I'm famous. I'm just who I am and this is what I do.

We were in a bad spot and started panicking, ... That's when we called Johnny in California and he said 'do whatever you can do to get here.'

Would I want Johnny Depp's career? Sure! But do I want all the trappings and all the stuff that comes with that? I don't know. It's a pretty serious trade off. Can you prevent it? Probably not.

When I was making 'Cop Land' in 1996, people were asking what my next movie was, ... Without thinking, I said, 'I want to make a movie about Johnny Cash.'Ã

Years later, I was in Baltimore one day and I talked to (then-manager) Johnny Oates. He said, 'You changed the game. You created the ninth-inning pitcher.' I said, 'It was the managers who did it. They started holding back their best relief pitchers to get saves.'

We started a little rough the last couple of weeks (in the return game), but Johnny is going to break one, ... I call him Johnny. I don't think he likes it. But he's a rookie. He's going to have to deal with it until next year.

Throughout the '50s, tons of unknown locals came through Sun to record their demos. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis all made their first recordings at the former Memphis Recording Service.

(Ben) was the only cast member who I had not seen in anything because I hadn't seen 'The O.C.,' ... All I saw was his audition for Johnny ... I'd seen Amy in plenty of stuff.

Dorsey and Johnny Burnette moved in across the street from me in Memphis when I was seven years old, and they were living in California by this time.

Dorsey played the upright bass and steel guitar, as well as acoustic guitar. Johnny played acoustic guitar and together they were fabulous songwriters and singers.

When you look out there and see Ray (Allen), Mec (Emeka Okafor), Johnny Gwynn ... any of those people. You don?t win the number of games we?ve been able to win or the championships we?ve won without those players,

Even though he sings the same songs night after night, he never disappoints, ... He always gives 100 percent, and no matter how old he gets, he always sounds like Johnny Mathis.

Everybody knew it was coming and nobody stopped it. Johnny is a heck of a a player. He made some big plays tonight.

Coming from Boston, one thing you know about Johnny is that he's not going to be intimidated in New York. He knows what pressure is and he's not going to let it change him.

I've been waiting for Coach to give me an opportunity (to play point guard). But if Dedrick is playing like that, we don't need to go to anybody else anymore. Johnny (Wolf) comes in and gives him some minutes when he gets tired, but when he's playing like this, we don't need anybody else.

You cannot meet Johnny Penry, you cannot talk to him, without coming to the sense he's mentally impaired. He doesn't understand consequences.

We're talking Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Willie Nelson all of those big acts, big artists from that era.

I spoke to Johnny yesterday. He's not worried. He just needs to get it calmed down, so that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.

The show pulled about 1,000 more people than Johnny Lang, the next biggest attendance.
