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.

Somehow you've been voted something for a magazine, and it's a complete mystery to me. I wake up and I have to look at that head when I brush my teeth every morning, you know. And it's weird. And it's unpleasant at times.

Ugliness is better than beauty. It lasts longer and in the end, gravity will get us all.

Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing.

My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.

I had just had a daughter, who was three or three-and-half years old, and I had been watching nothing but cartoons. That's really it. There was no YouTube. You're in France and you're raising a kid, so you break out the Tex Avery.

This dress code should be mandatory for most events.

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'm not 'Blockbuster Boy.' I never wanted to be. I wasn't looking for that.

When you take on the idea of playing someone like Jimmy Bulger, it's a radically different process because you're going into make-up. The only way you can do it is to come out of make-up looking like the guy. If you don't look like the guy, it's going to bug you, all day.

I don't like watching myself in the movies because I don't like being aware of the product. I like the process. I enjoy that.
Johnny Depp

There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.
Johnny Depp

An actor shouldn't have to leave the set and go home and write a bunch of stuff for a bunch of other people, the next day. I found it very unpleasant.
Johnny Depp
Image
I've thought of doing many things in my life, under the influence of life, and I've never actually thought of straddling two carriages while they're moving.
Johnny Depp
Image
For me, the question was, how can one take a live-action performance and put it in the parameter of one of those cartoons? How much can you get away with?

She's kind of a walking poem, she's this perfect beauty...but at the same time very deep, very smart.

If there is any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's ok to be different.

I'd never even sung in the shower, I'm too mortified. But once I got over the initial fear it was kind of enjoyable. Sondheim's melodies and lyrics are a real pleasure to tromp around in, it's really beautiful stuff.

Thats what a ship is, you know. Its not a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. Thats what a ship needs. But what a ship is. What the Black Pearl really is . . . is freedom.

We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns... When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren't shooting at humans... we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice.
