- "Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights ten times. I'm a romantic."
- "Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life."
- "As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too."
- "Don't ever take any shit off anybody. It think that's probably the best advice I've ever gotten."
- "For me, ambition has become a dirty word. I prefer hunger. To be hungry-great. To have hopes, dreams-great."
- "France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster."
- "I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled."
- "I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do."
- "I guess I'm attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal."
- "I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face."
- "I remember in that red leisure suit I sort of felt like a Pizza Hut employee, and the white one was the ultimate, with the white turtleneck collar, that was the ultimate in bad taste."
- "I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you're on it."
- "I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots."
- "I would do anything Tim [Burton] wanted me to. You know - have sex with an aardvark... I would do it."
- "I think everybody's nuts, to tell you the truth. I think everybody is absolutely out of their heads all the time. Watch people sometimes. Just watch people. People are absolutely insane. They just are. Look at us!"
- "I never had the brightest view of human nature. I think humanity - society, at least --is violent. It's not getting any better. I don't think I'm cynical, but I do think maybe the world is more... sinful than ever before."
- "If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color."
- "If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them."
- "I'll never understand the animal, the machine of Hollywood business. And I don't want to understand it. It's like joining a club, a clique just because everyone else is in it. You don't have any particular interest in it, and it has nothing to do with who you are as a person. You just join it because it's the thing to do."
- "I'm not Blockbuster Boy."
- "I'm not sure I'm adult yet."
- "I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it."
- "I'm attracted to the extreme light and the extreme dark. I'm interested in the human condition and what makes people tick. I'm interested in the things people try to hide."
- "I'm 30 different people sometimes. One day you wake up and you're somebody else, nowhere near who you were when you went to sleep. Unfortunately, I feel more comfortable in front of the movie camera than I do in real life."
- "It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live."
- "It's fun to imagine what you could do with that kind of money. I could buy that island I've wanted to buy all my life, and live there with my family. Or I could buy some great piece of art that's just going to feed my eyes every day. It's fun to toy with the notion of that, and it is very tempting because money, unfortunately is freedom in today's world."
- "It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty."
- "Marlon Brando is maybe the greatest actor of the last two centuries. But his mind is much more important than the acting thing. The way that he looks at things, doesn't judge things, the way that he assesses things. He's as important as, uh... who's important today? Jesus, not many people... Stephen Hawking!"
- "Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for...'"
- "My body is a journal in a way, where every tattoo means something, a specific time in your life where you make a mark on yourself."
- "My self-image it still isn't that alright. No matter how famous I am, no matter how many people go to see my movies, I still have the idea that I'm that pale no-hoper that I used to be. A pale no-hoper that happens to be a little lucky now. Tomorrow it'll be all over, then I'll have to go back to selling pens again.'"
- "That's the interesting thing about becoming a father. Suddenly you universally have something in common with other people. I can be sitting next to a very straight, humorless businessman or stockbroker type on an airplane and we'll just start talking about kids. And that conversation lasts three or four hours."
Charlie and the Chocolate... - "The beauty, the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn't mind going to jail for, what, five, six hours? It was absolutely worth it."
- "The fact that I am the dad is the most surprising thing. I love my family very much. And here's the part where I become the cliche father: I have never in my life thought it was possible to feel such deep love, such an incredible connection to this amazing little human being. She's an angel."
- "The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants."
- "The only gossip I'm interested in is in the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra burst, 11 injured.' That kind of thing."
- "The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there."
- "There are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've thought about the future and what it could be."
- "There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love."
- "This is a rumour-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..."
- "Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing."
Johnny Depp - "When kids hit 1 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.'"
- "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."
- "You can't plan the kind of deep love that results in children. Fatherhood was not a conscious decision. It was part of the wonderful ride I was on. It was destiny; kismet. All the math finally worked."
- "You know, when you welcome a child into the world, you witness the birth of your child, and you've been there for that nine month period, you realize that there's no doubt, there's no question that women are the stronger of the sexes. There's no doubt. Any man who had to carry a child for nine months would cave in about month or two. And then delivery, you know labor? Yeah, it's over with. So yeah, I would certainly like to explore that. Sure."
- "You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal."
