"I never felt like much of an Angeleno," he admitted to the publication. "And I did try. I say that with sadness, not with snobbery. Thirty years is just a very long time to live in a city that you're not all that comfortable in."
He mentioned that he'd nurtured "many fantasies of living in all the places I would travel, from Austin to Reykjavík," and eventually settled on Nashville, where he has now built his family home. "Everywhere I looked, around here, felt like the scene of a future memory."

Johnny described styling his home with a mix of Gothic tendencies and some of the midcentury quirky history it possessed. "With very limited knowledge of the area, resources, and relationships, and a little one running around, I thought, 'This is going to take me at least seven years to try to do by myself'.
"Funnily enough, a friend saw the Pierce & Ward book, A Tale of Interiors. She had visited my farm and thought, 'Well, that looks like Johnny’s taste and perfect for that location'."

In fact, in a 2022 oral history of the show, Johnny admitted that despite their characters, Leonard and Penny, tying the knot in the show while they remained exes off camera, it was all professionalism and friendship.
"A wonderful thing about walking onto the stage, much of the time, was that I got to leave all my personal drama behind," he recalled. "I had to. But you would think it might have been weird given there was a time Kaley and I did consider marrying, so those scenes would have been complicated at the very least. But she and I are seasoned professionals, and we've been doing this since we were kids, so we used it as a bit of therapy."
