Everyone tells tiny lies, what's important really is the size.

Johnny Depp's performance is quite remarkable. Sweeney's desire for revenge and the simmering anger and hurt that he feels carry the story forward, and Johnny finds the most remarkable variety within that narrow set of emotions.

My personal life and my artistic life do not interfere with each other.

I played the organ when I went to military school, when I was 10. They had a huge organ, the second-largest pipe organ in New York State. I loved all the buttons and the gadgets. I've always been a gadget man.

They wanted me to be a concert pianist, because I had a very good right hand, but my left hand's terrible and I hated performing.

I do not hope for what I cannot have! I do not cling to things I cannot keep!
