More quotes by Johnny Depp

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

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

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.

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.
