With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.
你饰演的每个角色中，必定要有一部分是与你自己融为一体的，不然就不叫演戏，叫撒谎。

“在我该死的学校里，学生分成三等：有钱孩子、聪明孩子和乡下孩子，我的出现突然开辟了第四等——怪孩子，所以从来没有一个女孩正眼瞧过我。”——Johnny Depp

我对任何事情都深感好奇，但追逐某些好奇的方式却是极不正当的，可惜那时没人管得了我。于是我12岁学会了抽烟，13岁就不再是处男，14岁品尝了大麻的滋味，15岁纹身，16岁敢在超市里顺手牵羊……但你能说我是个彻头彻尾的坏种吗­——不!!!­——Johnny Depp


我希望有一天能拍出一部举世震惊的电影，不为别人，只为自己——等我老到满嘴大牙全部脱落，眼袋和老人斑比眼睛还大的那一天，我可以坐在椅子上对孙子们大声嚷嚷：“快看，快看，那个酷毙的帅哥是你们的爷爷，他在电视上多牛X 。——Johnny Depp


保持前进，丝毫别在乎别人想什么说什么，做你自己必须做的，为自己！ — Johnny Depp

I'm an old-fashioned guy . . . I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.
我是个挺老派的人，我就想老了以后腆着啤酒肚，坐在门廊上看湖什么的。

Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights ten times. I'm a romantic.
我是个浪漫主义者嘛？《呼啸山庄》我都看了十几次，我肯定是个浪漫主义者。

When kids hit one year old, it's like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.
跟一岁的小孩在一起，就跟照顾酒鬼一样。他们走路要你扶，走着走着就会撞上，还又哭又笑，随地小便，会呕吐。


This is a rumor-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.
如今的人太喜欢八卦了，他们居然有闲心八卦我跟谁约会，要是真有这么多时间的话，为嘛不讨论点别的话题……太闲的话去打手枪好了。


The character I've played, that I've responded to, there has been a lost-soul quality to them.
我演绎过的每个角色，都带有一种绝望的气质。

The term "serious actor" is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? [Like] "Republican party" [or] "airplane food".
“严肃的演员”这词听着挺自相矛盾的，就像“共和党”和“飞机餐”一样

I suppose nowadays it's all a question of surgery, isn't it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old.
现在很多人选择整容手术，当然想漂亮、想永远年轻这没错，不过我认识很多老年人，还保留有年轻时的热情和干劲，对新鲜事物充满好奇，就跟孩子一样。我觉得我们可以像那样，一直保持年轻。而且，变老也有变老的乐趣。


He can ask me everything. If he wants me to have sex with an aardvark in one of his next movies, then I will do that.
他（Tim Burton）叫我做什么我都愿意。要是他想在下一部电影中让我跟非洲食蚁兽XXOO，我也乐意。

There's nothing - you know - nothing else like music. Nothing that touches us on that, uh, that deep level. Music can open up so many emotions that we didn't know we had.
音乐是无可比拟的。再没有什么像音乐那样深深地打动我们，音乐能唤起许多我们不自知的情感。
