Johnny Depp's quotes

Anything I've done up till 27 May, 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.
[on the money he makes] You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal.
I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.
The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
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.
[on his character in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)] Captain Jack Sparrow is like a cross between Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew.
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.
[when asked by James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio (1994) what attracts him to funny hats] I don't know, maybe I just read too much Dr. Seuss as a kid.
[asked if he is a romantic] Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights (1939) ten times. I'm a romantic.
[about being dragged behind a carriage in the woods on Sleepy Hollow (1999)] I wasn't afraid of getting hurt. I was just afraid that the horses may relieve themselves on the journey.
I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.
When kids hit one year old, it's like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.
This is a rumor-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.
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 ten-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" "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.
[on his daughter, Lily-Rose] I see this amazing, beautiful, pure angel-thing wake up in the morning, and nothing can touch that. She is the only reason to wake up in the morning, the only reason to take a breath. Everything else is checkers.
[on director Tim Burton] He can ask me everything. If he wants me to have sex with an aardvark in one of his next movies, then I will do that.
I don't have a mental picture of the houses we lived in because there were so many.
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition, too.
I loved playing Edward Scissorhands (1990) because there's nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him. It's almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realize I'm not Edward.
What I said was, the United States of America is a young country compared to Europe, compared to, you know, other countries. We're young. We're 200 and something years old.
[on director Tim Burton] What more can I say about him? He is a brother, a friend, my godson's father. He is a unique and brave soul, someone that I would go to the ends of the earth for, and I know, full and well, he would do the same for me.
(on preparing to sing as Sweeney Todd] It's a bit like jumping into cold water. There's no preparing, you just do it.
All the amazing people that I've worked with - Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman - have told me consistently: don't compromise. Do your work, and if what you're giving is not what they want, you have to be prepared to walk away.
[about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)] I only wanted to be in a movie that my kids could see.
I had never experienced that before. And it's been fun to visit Hollywood and talk to studios as a bankable actor for a change.
I've been around long enough to know that one week, you're on the exclusive list of guys who can open a movie, and then the next week, you're off the list. It's been a fun ride, and I'm enjoying it for all it's worth.
[about Edward D. Wood Jr.] Like him I also grew up feeling like an obtuse piece of machinery. It was the same feeling I had about Edward Scissorhands."
(about his mother, Betty Sue) Years and years I watched her wait tables. I'd count her change at the end of the night. She cursed like a sailor, played cards and smoked cigarettes.
I was a weird kid. I wanted to be Bruce Lee. I wanted to be on a SWAT team. When I was five, I think I wanted to be Daniel Boone.
[about living in the small town of Miramar as a kid] Miramar was like Endora, the town in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). It had two identical grocery stores opposite each other and nothing much ever happened there.
I'd been in high school three years, and I may have just walked in yesterday. I had, like, eight credits. I was in my third year of high school and I didn't want to be there. I was bored out of my mind and I hated it.
I hung around with bad crowds. We used to break and enter places. We'd break into the school and destroy a room or something. I used to steal things from stores.
My father left and my mother was deeply hurt and sick physically and emotionally. That's a very traumatic thing for a family to go through, so we all pulled together and did the best we could.
These are the most important people in my life. You know, I would die for these people. If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love - I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years - but I would eat them.
I remember carving my initials on my arm and I've scarred myself from time to time since then. In a way your body is a journal and the scars are sort of entries in it.
I can remember my parents fighting and us kids wondering who was going to go with whom if they got divorced.
[about his career as a salesman] The last couple of times I did it, I just said, "Listen, you don't want this stuff, man".
[about his job of selling pens over the phone] I was working a day job selling ink pens over the phone and getting maybe $100 a week, but I thought, "What have I got to lose?"
[on Platoon (1986)] I went to read for Oliver Stone, and Oliver scared the shit out of me! I read for him and he said, "OK, I need you for ten weeks in the jungle." It was a great experience.
(About teen magazines) They had come to me in the beginning and said, "We want you to do these interviews and stuff for these magazines," and I said, "What magazines?" And they said, "Sixteen! Teen Beat! Teen Dream! Teen Poop! Teen Piss! Teen Shit!"
(About Peter DeLuise, friend from 21 Jump Street) If Peter wasn't on the show I would have gone insane or jumped into the river. He's my savior.
(About his character in 21 Jump Street) Hanson is not someone I'd want to have pizza with. I don't believe in having undercover cops in high school - it's spying. The only thing I have in common with Tom Hanson is that we look alike.
When I see someone who just follows their dream and succeeds, and just does basically what they want to do and doesn't have to answer to anyone, obviously not harming anyone, that's great.
(About 21 Jump Street) I'm afraid I started navel-gazing. I started thinking like, There are 365 days in a year, but for 275 of those days, I'm saying someone else's words. And they're bad words. And I only get to say my own for 90 days.
Kids write to me and say they are having these problems or they want to commit suicide or something. It's scary. I have to say, Listen, I'm just an actor, not a professional psychologist. If you need help, you should go and get it.
It's scary. It's terrifying. People come up to you and start crying. Everybody compares everyone to James Dean these days. If you're lucky they mention Brando [Marlon Brando] or De Niro [Robert De Niro]. They invite you to put on an instant image.
(About teen magazines) Those are things that are out of my control. It's very nice to be appreciated, but I'm not really comfortable with it. I've never liked being the centre of attention. It comes with the territory.
[on buying a private island] Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it.
[on Elizabeth Taylor] The best old-school dame I've ever met. A regular, wonderful person.
I have a really soft spot for blondes. I find myself attracted to blonde women the most.
I pray on airplanes. I get instant religion during takeoff, then when we're safely in the air I sit there thinking about the fact that any little thing that goes wrong could send us crashing to the ground.
[1995] You can never, ever understand fully what a woman's life might be like until you step into her shoes. The same thing goes for transvestites. [Talking about his role in Ed Wood (1994)]
[on playing Barnabas in Dark Shadows (2012)] We decided a vampire should look like a vampire. It was our rebellion against vampires who look like underwear models. So, yeah, there was a bit of Nosferatu.
If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second
I've always admired actors who can try their hand at anything and, more often than not, succeed at it... people like Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman are just inspiring to watch.
[on playing Tonto in The Lone Ranger (2013)] In the history of cinema, the Native Americans have been portrayed as the savage and something less than that. We thought at least we should take a shot at erasing that. We all approached it that way.
When you add up the amount of dialogue that you say per year and you realize that you've said written words more than you've had a chance to say your own words, you start thinking about that as an insane option for a human being.
I like that, each time, before I even go in front of the cameras, the studio's reaction will be fear.
I've always enjoyed hiding behind these characters. I could stand up in front of, it doesn't matter how many people, as a character. But if I had to do it as myself and give a speech, I would be liquid.
There are those who meet their heroes and go, "Aw, fuck." And I've never had that, luckily. I was never disappointed by the people I've admired.
I still approach a scene as one would approach a guitar solo. You don't exactly know how you're going to phrase this or that. Which I think is beautiful. That idea of chance.
I love the idea of changing my look. I think one owes it to the audience, to go out there and give them something different each time, so as not to bore them to death.
The choices I made when I was in a position where it was do-or-die were made with my heroes in mind. I didn't want to disappoint the people who had busted down doors before.
[on considering the role of fatherhood] Let's face it: practising for it is fun and it's all wonderful. Man, I'd make a hundred!
If Donald Trump [Donald Trump] is elected President of the United States, in a kind of historical way it's exciting because we will see the actual last President of the United States.
When was the last time an actor assassinated a President?... It has been a while, and maybe it's time.
