Johnny Depp Daily Fix
Random Quote by Johnny
"I'm going to do everything I can -- fight tooth and nail -- to not be put in some teen-idol category. I don't want somebody who's writing out checks to limit me, to put me in a herd of people who can only do one thing. I don't want to be limited by other people's opinions. I don't necessarily want to always play the leading man -- I'd like to shave my head and sew my eyeballs shut. It would be terrible to just do teen exploitation films. It just wouldn't be worth it." (1988)

Donnie Brasco and Johnny Depp--the pair of diminutive and rhyming first names suggests, one hopes, larger reverberances between a compelling character and the fascinating young actor who plays him in a movie. Secretiveness and watchfulness are among the traits they share. So are tastes for danger, duplicity and disguise. Most significant, role playing is for both of them--albeit in rather different ways--a matter of life and death. (Time 1997)
