JOHNNY DEPP: PERSONAL QUOTES (part 2)

July 28th, 2006

“With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it’s just not acting. It’s lying.”

“The only gossip I’m interested in is things from the Weekly World News - ‘Woman’s bra bursts, 11 injured.’ That kind of thing.”

“I’m an old-fashioned guy… I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.”

(On being an uncle) My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn’t understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I’d sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I’m sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe.

When asked by James Lipton on “Inside The Actor’s Studio” (1987) what attracts him to funny hats: “I don’t know, maybe I just read too much Dr. Seuss as a kid.”

After being asked if he is a romantic: “Am I a romantic? I’ve seen ‘Wuthering Heights’ ten times. I’m a romantic.”

“Taken in context, what I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news media. There was no anti-American sentiment. In fact, it was just the opposite. I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful.”

“France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they’ve forgotten all about it. I’m afraid that the American culture is a disaster.”

Talking on the Sleepy Hollow (1999) set about what it was like being dragged behind a carriage in the woods: “I wasn’t afraid of getting hurt. I was just afraid that the horses may relieve themselves on the journey.”

“The character I’ve played, that I’ve responded to, there has been a lost-soul quality to them.”

“Sure, I find it touching, honestly, but awards are not as important to me as when I meet a 10-year-old kid who says, ‘I love Captain Jack Sparrow’ … That’s real magic for me.”

“The term ’serious actor’ is kind of an oxymoron, isn’t it? (Like) ‘Republican party’ (or) ‘airplane food.’”

“On a film you start to get closer and closer with the people you’re working with, and it becomes like this circus act or this travelling family.”
