In a 1973 interview with Robert Berkvist, Johns described – in her experience – the compatibility of theatre and marriage: "Acting is my highest form of intelligence, the time when I use the best part of my brain. I was always told, by my married friends, for example, that I could apply that intelligence to something else, some other aspect of living, but I can't. I don't have the same flair in other things." On the subject of a fifth marriage, she reflected, "I'd tread very softly in that area. Very softly. I certainly wouldn't rush into anything again, and I'd have to have an awful lot in common with anyone I'd consider marrying next time. Why so many marriages? It was absolute conservatism on my part. I was brought up to feel that if you wanted to have an affair with a man, well, you married him. I have friends who, if they'd followed that rule, would have collected an awful lot of pieces of paper by now."<ref name="Johns Hits a High Note">{{cite news |last=Berkvist |first=Robert |date=11 March 1973 |title=Miss Johns Hits a High Note |work=[[The New York Times]] |location=New York |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/03/11/archives/miss-johns-hits-a-high-note-miss-johns-hits-a-high-note.html |access-date=19 October 2022}}</ref>
