It still feels like I'm doing the same bits, just trying something different each time, exploring something new. That’s what’s important is to keep challenging myself and try to come up with some new faces every now and again.http://www.fandango.com/commentator_emthetouristemjohnnydeppinterview_368

I tend to find an opportunity to throw in humor on any level, even when it doesn't apply. I mean, I've done it in scenes in Blow and other things where it probably shouldn't have been there, but it just seemed to work at the time. So I'm always trying to throw as much humor into a part as I can.http://www.ugo.com/channels/filmTv/features/piratesofthecaribbean/johnnydepp.asp

I’m still completely shocked that I get jobs and am still around, you know? But more than anything yes, it has been a kind of Wonderland. I’ve been very lucky.http://www.longislandpress.com/2010/03/06/interview-johnny-depp/
