00:05 >> Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
00:07 >> Johnny told me I'm my happiest when I'm performing.
00:12 [MUSIC]
00:14 But sometimes Cash gets in trouble.
00:17 >> You know, he's the kind of guy, walked into a room, everybody turned around.
00:21 >> Because Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash.
00:24 >> There was not one person that didn't respect Johnny Cash.
00:27 >> He sort of lived in his own atmosphere.
00:29 >> His unapologetic attitude, that's what made Johnny Cash cool.
00:33 >> He was my hero, for all the right reasons and all the wrong reasons.

00:44 >> We were all young and wild and crazy.
00:48 >> How crazy were you?
00:49 >> Oh, as crazy as you can get.

01:17 >> He wanted to be the biggest thing in the world, and
01:20 he became the biggest thing in the world.
01:22 And then he stepped back, and he said, that's not all there is.
01:28 >> There's no lonelier place on Earth for a man to be than separated from God.
01:33 >> He faced himself, he faced his temptations, he faced his worldliness,
01:37 and came out wanting to be right with God.
01:40 >> It's a biblical precedent that God uses complicated people.
01:44 [MUSIC]
01:55 >> It's all fleeting, as fame is fleeting, so all the trappings of fame.
02:00 [MUSIC]
02:02 >> Do you have any regrets about what you've done?
02:04 >> I forgave myself.
02:06 When God forgave me, I figured I'd better do it too.
