Johnny Depp idézet

oldal 3

„A testem a naplóm, és a tetoválásaim a történetem.”

„Az egyetlen olyan élőlények, amelyek elég fejlettek ahhoz, hogy tiszta szeretetet közvetítsenek, a kutyák és a csecsemők.”

„Amikor a gyerekek elérik az 1 éves kort, olyan, mintha egy miniatűr részeggel lógnának együtt. Meg kell tartani őket. Beleütköznek dolgokba. Nevetnek és sírnak. Vizelnek. Hánynak.”

„A zene érzelmileg megérint minket ott, ahol a szavak önmagukban nem képesek.”

„Szerintem mindenki furcsa. Mindannyiunknak meg kell ünnepelnünk egyéniségünket, és nem kell zavarban lennünk vagy szégyenkeznünk miatta.”

„Négy értékes kérdés van az életben ... Mi a szent? Miből készül a szellem? Miért érdemes élni és miért érdemes meghalni? A válasz mindegyikre ugyanaz. Csak a szeretet.”

„Ha valaki bántaná a családomat, egy barátomat vagy valakit, akit szeretek, felfalnám. Lehet, hogy 500 évre börtönbe kerülnék, de akkor felfalnám.”

„Mindannyian sérültek vagyunk a magunk módján. Senki sem tökéletes. Szerintem mindannyian elmebetegek vagyunk. Mindannyian.”

„Próbálok állandóan zavarodott állapotban maradni, már csak azért is, amilyen arckifejezést hagy maga után rajtam.”

„Ő egyfajta két lábon járó vers, ő ez a tökéletes szépség... de ugyanakkor nagyon mély, nagyon okos.”

„Nem hiszem, hogy bárki is feltétlenül készen állna a halálra. Csak remélni lehet, hogy amikor közeledik, úgy érzel majd, hogy elmondtál mindent, amit el akartál mondani. Senki sem akar a mondat közepén meghalni.”

„Óvatosnak kell lenned: soha, soha ne szólj senkinek egy szót sem a semmiről.”

„Az emberek nem azért sírnak, mert gyengék. Hanem azért, mert túl sokáig erősek voltak.”

„Mindig is lenyűgöztek azok az emberek, akiket teljesen normálisnak tartanak, mert szerintem ők a legfurcsábbak mind közül.”

„A lányomat egy londoni szálloda éttermében megkérdezte egy idős hölgy, hogy mit csinál az apukája. Azt válaszolta: "Kalóz" - nagyon büszke voltam erre a válaszra.”

“I had an incident with a really dumb magazine called Voici where they printed a photograph of Lily-Rose, a long-lens shot from very far away, and I just went ballistic. You can sue them — I've sued a couple of times, Vanessa's sued and we win every time — but this time I was beyond suing. I just wanted to beat whoever was responsible into the earth — I just wanted to rip him apart.So I tracked him down and gave him a few suggestions about how to live life and stay healthy and he took my advice. Because that's just unacceptable. They can do anything they want to me — and most tabloids have — but not my kid, not my pure, innocent little baby. She didn't ask to be in this circus.”

“"Film star," "movie star" — whatever they want to try to call you is limiting, in the sense that I think an actor has to be able to play characters. To separate these things — you know: "leading man," "action hero," "character actor," stuff like that — I guess if I want to be close to anything, it would be a character actor, which is what I think an actor should be. So any of that "movie star" stuff, I just don't buy it. It just doesn't make sense to me.”

“[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.”

“I just don’t quite understand it [the press], really. I don’t understand the animal. It’s a strange, roundabout way of selling something; it leaves a foul taste… The thing that fascinates me is: who cares what an actor thinks?”

“I’ve known that there have been a kind of select group of people, amazing die-hard supporters, even through some of the more, shall we say, odd films. These people, bless them, have stuck with me the whole length of the road. To say that you appreciate it is not nearly enough. It’s part of the essence, or fuel, of what keeps you going.These people are my boss; they’re the ones who keep me employed. A couple of times, they could have said, Let’s abandon him. And they haven’t. You don’t want to let them down.”

“When I was a kid back in Kentucky, we went to this church where my uncle preached. It was kind of a weird Baptist, full-on kind of place. People kept running up to the pulpit and grabbing his ankles and being saved. Lots of crying. Even then, at six or seven, I questioned how pure the emotion could be if it were on such display.”

“I always figured that once I wrapped a film, then anything beyond that is none of my business. If I can avoid seeing the final product, then all I have in my head is feeling good about the experience.”

“I want to do kiddie movies now. I'm fed up with adult movies — most of them stink. At a certain point with movies it becomes all about mathematics: this has to lead up to this, this has to lead up to that — you're always bound by some kind of formula. But since having kids and watching lots of animated cartoons and all those great old Disney films, I think they're better, they're much better. They're more fun and they take more risks.”

“We're all a mishmash of extremes. I know that I have demons. I don't know if I want to get rid of them altogether, but I would like to experience them in a different way. Maybe go face to face with them. I've never really had the time to go to therapy. Well, here and there. But not enough to help me.”

“The ultimate for me would be to do a feature that didn't require any narrative structure.”

“Depp: I would never be disrespectful to my country, to the people, especially the kids who are over there serving in the armed forces. My uncle was wounded in Vietnam, paralyzed from the neck down. I would never say those things the way they claim I said them.
Interviewer: What exactly did you say?
Depp: I essentially said the United States is a very young country compared with Europe. We're still growing. That's it. I wouldn't say anything anti-American. I'm an American, and I love my country.
Interviewer: What's your view of President Bush?
Depp: What can I say? He's somebody's kid. He's somebody's father. God bless him. Good luck. You know what I mean? I don't agree with his politics, and I'm not going to pretend to, but I don't agree with a lot of people's politics.”

“I see kids who are complete cynics. They're not dreaming. They're out there with high-powered weapons, smoking crack behind the 7-Eleven. They've seen it all. These kids are going to take us into 2000 and beyond. That's scary, man. I wouldn't say I'm pessimistic or optimistic. I'm more realistic, I guess. But not cynical. I look. I watch.”

“Awards are not as important to me as when I meet a 10-year-old kid who says, "I love Captain Jack Sparrow."”

“When I was a kid, we watched the Vietnam War on the six o'clock news, and it was desensitizing. You felt you were watching a war film; meanwhile you were really watching these guys getting blown to bits. Parents need to protect their kids from watching that stuff.”

“The real movie stars were Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift. How could I put myself in the same category as Clark Gable? Tom Cruise is a great movie star. Do I consider myself a movie star? I consider myself a guy with a good job, an interesting job.”
