Johnny Depp Zitate

seite 3

„Die einzigen Geschöpfe, die weit genug entwickelt sind, um reine Liebe auszudrücken, sind Hunde und Kleinkinder.“

„Wenn jemand meiner Familie oder einem Freund oder jemandem, den ich liebe, Schaden zufügen würde, würde ich ihn essen. Ich könnte für 500 Jahre im Gefängnis landen, aber ich würde sie essen.“

„Musik berührt uns emotional, wo Worte allein nicht ausreichen.“

„Mein Körper ist mein Tagebuch und meine Tattoos sind meine Geschichte.“

„Ich finde, jeder ist sonderbar. Wir sollten alle unsere Einzigartigkeit feiern. Sie sollten uns nicht peinlich sein und wir sollten uns nicht dafür schämen.“

„Wenn du zwei Menschen zur gleichen Zeit liebst, dann wähle den zweiten Menschen. Denn wenn du den ersten wirklich lieben würdest, hättest du dich nie in den zweiten verliebt.“

„Im Leben gibt es nur vier Fragen, die zählen: Was ist heilig? Worauf besteht die Seele? Wofür leben wir und was ist es wert, dafür zu sterben? Die Antwort zu jeder Frage ist die selbe. Nur Liebe.“

„Lache solange du atmest und liebe solange du lebst.“

„Wenn Du nicht magst, dass Bilder gepostet werden, auf denen Gewalt gegen Tiere zu sehen ist, dann solltest Du die Gewalt gegen Tiere bekämpfen, aber nicht die Bilder.“

„Nicht alle Schätze sind Silber und Gold.“

„Atme durch. Es ist nur ein schlechter Tag, kein schlechtes Leben.“

„Ich mag Baseball, Filme, gute Anzüge, schnelle Autos, Whiskey… und dich. Was willst du noch wissen?“

„In jeder Rolle, die du spielst, steckt ein bestimmter Anteil von dir selbst drin. Das muss so sein, sonst ist es einfach keine Schauspielerei. Dann ist es Lügen.“

„Ich finde, der Name passt perfekt zu mir.“

„Wir sind alle auf unsere eigene Art und Weise geschädigt. Niemand ist perfekt. Ich denke, wir haben alle irgendwo eine Schraube locker. Jeder einzelne von uns.“

„Ich liebte es, Edward mit den Scherenhänden zu spielen, weil es an ihm nichts Zynisches, Reizloses oder Unreines gibt. Es ist beinahe eine Enttäuschung, wenn ich in den Spiegel schaue und feststellen muss, dass ich nicht Edward bin.“

„Und dann merkst du, dass 600 Männer und Frauen unter der Disney-Flagge vor einem riesigen Sturm wegrennen, der den Namen von Fred Feuersteins Frau trägt.“

„Ich glaube nicht, dass jemand unbedingt auf den Tod vorbereitet ist. Man kann nur hoffen, dass man, wenn er naht, das Gefühl hat, dass man gesagt hat, was man sagen wollte. Niemand will mitten im Satz sterben.“

„Du musst vorsichtig sein: sag zu niemandem ein Wort über nichts, nie.“

“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.”
