I'm a big fan of rehearsal. I'm famous for pulling the cast together, not so much to formally rehearse, but just to run the lines. My theory of acting is that it takes all your attention just to stay in the moment, and keep your attention on the other person, and get him to do what you want him to do.

Oh yeah, that's the Holy Grail, Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp, he's the real deal, isn't he? He doesn't get the girl, and he doesn't care.

The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.

I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.

I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.

That's pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
