the various quotes on, of, and from Johnny Depp

[permetaform]

"He is a guy with a ferocious work ethic and an image somewhere between amiable kook with a taste for the unexpected (whether a brief dalliance with buying art by serial killer John Wayne Gacy or appearing on the Fast Show) and - by the blindly careerist standards of the American film business - professional rebel. Neither of which, it must be said, seems to have much in common with this gentle, softly spoken 38 year old."

~The Guardian, May 2001


"He'd love to come back and do it again. It was so cool, the movie was so fun. He got to do some really great stuff. He was great in action. He never does action. I'm like, "I thought you never like to do action?" He said, "You've converted me."'

~Robert Rodriguez talking about Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, 2001


"In Paris, his favorite city, Depp made a point of sleeping in the bed where Oscar Wilde died: "I was a little paranoid that I might be buggered by a ghost at four in the morning."'

~Toronto Sun interview, 1995

"I was a little paranoid that I might be buggered by a ghost at four in the morning."

And why do I imagine he said it in the tone of voice that insinuated it was the four in the morning part that would upset him...
