Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.

I wasn't a big comic book reader. I always had trouble knowing which box to read next. I was always reading from the wrong box. I was like, this is a comic book that doesn't make any sense! I think I was reading them all out of sequence.
