"John never initiated gunfire. He always felt that if gunshots
were fired in the taking of a bank, then they failed in their planning."


"John was more into the thrill of the chase and the adventure
than he was committing crime"

"Sometimes he would hide out in the attic upstairs in a secret
room and there was a cot there"

"The killer talk was all done by the authorities because they knew
they had to muddy him up because he was just too popular"

"I think Johnny Depp is the type of guy who will capture both the
negatives and the positives about John"

"He was clearly one of those iconic figures of his time and will
probably always remain so, much like Jessie James and other
people of that kind"

"I like how my grandma defined it. Don't romanticize him and
don't villainize him, John was a crook and there is no honor
in being a crook."
