sent in by: Amanda - Really, (Johnny) smokes too much. I once said to him, 'You should stop', and he replied, 'Why stop something I do so well?'

sent in by: anna - When I first saw Johnny, he had a felt hat pulled down and these deep brown eyes peering out, with a coat that went down to the floor. He was cute as a bug's ear, but he looked like a waif. And I think that's part of his appeal: he can be waif-like but his charisma comes through.

sent in by: rachel - “He’s fantastic,” he says of Depp. “Every scene you do with him is a special scene; he’s a fantastic man. It’s neat because, in the film, Charlie has a dream to visit the chocolate factory, and it comes true. My dream was to work with Johnny again, and it also came true.”
said by: Freddie Highmore - They can say wat they want about johnny but to me he´s an angel.

He takes chances, he takes those roles, he eludes being a pin-up though he IS quite handsome. When you stand next to him you cant believe he's over the age of 20.

sent in by: Debbie - "People like Johnny Depp are an exception. He is the current model of what an actor should be. His body of work speaks volumes. He was so under-rated for so long, but he will have longevity -- and it is such a gratifying thrill to see he is finally getting the recognition he deserves."
said by: Dustin Hoffman
sent in by: Debbie - I wanted him to open his mouth and talk with some huge speech impediment or something, it's frustrating he's as cool and genuine as he comes across.
said by: Johnny Vegas
sent in by: Debbie - As far as i'm concerned Johnny Depp is the best actor of his generation. I think he's capable of anything, there's no limits to his abilities. What amazes me is that the critics are always surprised by Johnny. It's like they don't really watch what's there, they don't understand how good an actor he is he doesn't cheat by giving you all these cheap emotions. He won't make you comfortable for him that would be a foot in the grave.
said by: Terry Gilliam
sent in by: Debbie - It's hard to put your finger on why he's so extraordinary but technically he's astonishing. He's absolutely brilliant with the kind of technique you'd only get if you'd spent ten years at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) and it's all self taught. You don't want to work with anybody else once you've worked with somebody as good as that. For me it was like working with the Python team again - he's that fast and funny and inventive.

sent in by: Debbie - ''Johnny isn't a method actor,he's a thorough actor and immerses himself totally ..most actors carry it with them.We say ''cut'' and they're still in the character and that's not Johnny..It's like working with an English actor[working with Johnny]..we're talking about football and 'action' he's in character,then 'cut' and we're back to telling jokes again''....I guess you can learn this degree of concentration,train yourself...but it just amazes me the gifts with which Johnny has been blessed."

sent in by: Debbie - there was a young man
everyone thought was quite handsome.
so he tied up his face
and he held it for ransom.
he made everybody
back up 20 feet,
then he ran off
with his head
down a darkly
lit street.
the whole town
wondered why he'd
threatened his face,
they couldn't understand,
...it was that kind of place.
said by: Tim Burton (poem)
sent in by: Sere - He’s always been known as a good actor, but you know, Hollywood is a very safe community, and it's like their attitude towards me: they think he is a good actor but they are also a little bit worried because he likes to transform himself
said by: Tim Burton
sent in by: Sere - He’s more like Lon Chaney than he is a leading man. I hope and I think that they see an integrity to him and, except in my movies, they like the way he looks. Of course ever since the Pirate movie made money it's been different, because they see that as meaningful.

sent in by: Sere - When I think of the great character actor, I think of Johnny Depp
said by: Orlando Bloom
sent in by: Sere - I've been lucky because I do regard myself as a slightly aging character and I've been able to be in scenes with delightful women, like Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Salma Hayek, Goldie Hawn. ..... It's been a perk of the job. And the prettiest of all, of course,was Johnny Depp.
said by: Geoffrey Rush
sent in by: Sere - When I first saw Bon Bon on the set, I didn't realize it was Johnny. I just looked at this girl with heavy makeup and the big behind and thought, man, I could get into that. I still felt that way after I realized it was Johnny. He's such a beautiful guy - who wouldn't make love to him? And I know a lot of real girls who would like to kill to have Bon Bon's ass.

sent in by: Sere - Johnny seems happy with his new gratrification. But he's too smart to be really happy. He's too prone to walking out to the edge of a limb. He's a hillbilly in his soul.
said by: Hunter S. Thompson
sent in by: Sere - Johnny Depp, as far as I'm concerned, is number one. Of his generation, there’s no one who can touch him. Some performers today, it's like looking at holes in the air.

said by: Freddie Highmore
sent in by: Sere - I've always been a fan of Johnny's work,I think the choices he's made are just exceptional and very brave. He's a great guy, a wonderful dad, and he's quite childlike as well. It was a very collaborative experience. He likes to share ideas, so we worked in quite similar ways. He would say to me, 'What do you think of that?' and I would say, 'Great, but try this'. And I would say the same to him, like 'Oh God, was that all right?' But then I'm like that, always saying 'That was pathetic'. And we both hate watching ourselves on screen, too - so we got on really, really well.
said by: Kate Winslet
sent in by: Sere - And Johnny Depp's involved, too, and if anyone's gonna take care of that and do a good job, it's Johnny.
