Johnny Depp citáty

page 3

„Jediné stvorenia, ktoré sú natoľko vyvinuté, aby vyjadrili čistú lásku, sú psi a dojčatá.“

„Moje telo je mojím denníčkom, a moje tetovania mojím príbehom.“

„Ak by niekto zranil moju rodinu alebo priateľa, alebo niekoho, koho milujem, zjedol by som ich. Aj keby som skončil vo väzení na 500 rokov by som ich zjedol.“

„Myslím, že každý je divný. Všetci by sme mali oslavovať našu individualitu a nemali by sme sa za ňu hanbiť alebo sa za ňu cítiť trápne.“

„Dýchaj. Je to len zlý deň, nie zlý život.“

„Ľudia plačú nie preto, že sú slabí. Je to preto, že boli príliš dlho silní.“

„V živote existujú štyri dôležité otázky ... Čo je posvätné? Z čoho je stvorená duša? Pre čo sa oplatí žiť a pre čo umrieť? Odpoveď na každú z nich je rovnaká. Iba láska.“

„Dnes sa bavím príliš dobre na to, aby som sa obával zajtrajška.“

„Všetci sme svojím spôsobom zničení. Nikto nie je dokonalý. Myslím, že sme všetci trochu smiešni. Každý jeden z nás.“

„Keď deti dosiahnu jeden rok, je to ako tráviť čas s miniatúrnym opilcom. Musíte ich neustále držať, narážajú do vecí, smejú sa a plačú, močia, zvracajú.“

„Musíš byť opatrný: nikdy nikomu o ničom nehovor.“

„Snažím sa zostať v neustálom stave zmätku už len kvôli výrazu, ktorý mi to zanecháva na tvári.“

„Nemyslím si, že je niekto nevyhnutne pripravený na smrť. Môžete len dúfať, že keď sa priblíži, budete mať pocit, že ste povedali všetko, čo ste chceli. Nikto nechce umrieť uprostred nedopovedanej vety.“

„Je ako chodiaca báseň, je to dokonalá kráska... ale zároveň veľmi duchaplná, veľmi inteligentná.“

„Vždy ma fascinovali ľudia, ktorí sú považovaní za úplne normálnych, pretože ja ich považujem za najčudnejších zo všetkých.“

“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.”
