“I prefer to stay as ignorant as possible about my work and anybody else’s work in movies. Like, for example, as much as I want to see what Michael Mann did with this film and what Christian [Bale] and Marion [Cotillard] put on the screen in their performances, it’ll probably be a while before I can bring myself to take a look at it because then I would start having regrets,” Depp commented.
Despite the ups and downs that come with fame, Depp says he’s learnt to deal with it all.
“Twenty something years ago, somebody handed me the ball and said, ‘OK, kid, here’s your chance. Run with it.’ And you go as far as you go until somebody tells you, ‘You’re done. Get out.’ And that’s what I did. I realize that part of that process is a certain amount of attention, if you’re lucky. There’s a loss of anonymity, which can be a bit of a drag at times. But it’s not a bad gig,” Depp said.
And when he’s not filming around the world, Depp splits his time between his home in France with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis and his two kids.
“I stumbled upon a tiny little island out in the Bahamas which I love. I can divide my time between that place and the South of France where I live with my family. For me, the place to be is where there’s an opportunity for normalcy, simplicity. I sort of slum around the world on location, battling incessantly to get other people’s words right in front of a camera. So to go and sit and stare at the horizon for a little while is pretty good. I think it might add a couple of minutes to your life,” he said. ”
