Quoted in Sophie Cooper, "Johnny Be Good," Caribbean World (Spring 1999)
“
I'm not a Blockbuster boy, I never wanted to be. I just don't want to look back in 30 or 40 or 50 years and have my grandkids say, "You did a lot of stupid shit, Granddad. What an idiot you were, smiling for the cameras and playing the game."
— Johnny Depp
