When pressed further about his new popularity, Depp said, "I guess I should be flattered, but really, all I care about is being given total freedom to be whatever I want to be. If a movie makes money on it, well, I guess that's okay. After all, the only reason I played in "Pirates" was so I could wear dreadlocks, put on too much makeup, slur my words and do a better job of acting like Keith Richards than he can himself. Now, piss off and leave me alone."
May I just say that I adore this man more and more??
