I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script.

People build up a picture of Johnny Depp as being some sort of weird pirate character. In reality he's incredibly nice... one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I never really acted at school. It was doing small parts on TV that really got me started.

I like hot weather. I think it might be a bit better if England was a bit hotter.

I had been practicing guitar about six months beforehand; I concentrated mostly on the songs I had to play. I got those down pretty well so they could use me actually playing.

I always try doing a different character for every film so it's not just changing one.

I'm sure everyone has many types of music that they enjoy.
