[Jack Sparrow]'s a blast to play. I'll be in a deep, dark depression saying goodbye to him. I'll keep the costume and just prance around the house, entertain the kids....I mean, at a certain point, the madness must stop, but for the moment, I can't say that he's done.

When I got the job, I was sure that I wasn't going to get the job because Tom Cruise almost got the job.

The only responsibility I feel is to deliver something that's new or at least to attempt that. The real responsibility is to entertain and to try and make people laugh.

Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I’m human and I’m normal – well, semi-normal.

Religion is a fascinating black hole to me.

I really love the experience of moving things around, in terms of being a director.
