Depp started to study acting in earnest, first in classes at the Loft Studio in Los Angeles and then with a private coach.
The lessons paid off in when he replaced actor Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular Canadian-filmed television series 21 Jump Street. The role thrust Depp into almost immediate stardom; he became a teen idol overnight, though he resented that label. When his contract on Jump Street expired in , he leapt at the opportunity to pursue weightier roles. In , Depp starred in the John Waters '50s-kitsch musical Cry-Baby , which became a cult hit and succeeded in changing his image.
That same year, he received an opportunity to exhibit his versatility as an actor in the titular role of Tim Burton 's fantasy film, Edward Scissorhands. Following the film's success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprise critics and audiences alike.
It was during shooting for Edward Scissorhands that Depp met co-star Winona Ryder , whom he'd been eyeing since a brief meeting at the premiere for her film Great Balls of Fire Freddie Mercury had an overbite problem, which he never wanted to intervene for fear that his vocal register would change.

I was just afraid that the horses may relieve themselves on the journey. I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it. When kids hit one 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. This is a rumor-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 The character I've played, that I've responded to, there has been a lost-soul quality to them.
Sure, I find it touching, honestly, but awards are not as important to me as when I meet a ten-year-old kid who says, "I love Captain Jack Sparrow". The term "serious actor" is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?
On a film you start to get closer and closer with the people you're working with, and it becomes like this circus act or this travelling family. If you turn on the television and see the horrors that are happening to people in the world right now, I think there's no better time to strive to have some kind of hope through imagination.
I think it's a time to close your eyes and try to make a change, or at least hope to make a change, or we're going to explode. I suppose nowadays it's all a question of surgery, isn't it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children.
I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old. All the little films I've done that were perceived by Hollywood as these obscure, weird things, I always thought could appeal to a larger audience.
I mean, box office is such a mystery to me that I can't. I have enough trouble doing my own gig. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time. I'd get bored. We had been shooting [ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ] for about a month, and I was beginning to get nervous because there weren't any phone calls. I called my agent and asked, "Has no one called from the studio to complain or say, 'Hey, what's he doing?
Something's wrong! And I just had to know. So I said, "Okay, who was the first one, when you started seeing the dailies, that got a little worried? And [Warner Bros. Horn finally said, "Yeah, that was me". I felt better instantly. The one thing I didn't understand was that apparently he was quoted as saying, "Well, they just did this for money". Well, hey, man, where have you been? When didn't they ever do anything for money? Nobody's ever made a film in the history of cinema where they weren't expecting some return on their dough.
She is the only reason to wake up in the morning, the only reason to take a breath. Everything else is checkers. If he wants me to have sex with an aardvark in one of his next movies, then I will do that. Well, I guess I wouldn't say traumatizing, but I would say weird: at the premiere of the film the reception of it was beyond any expectation that I had.
I had no idea I'd be looking at [ Bernardo Bertolucci ] or [ Michelangelo Antonioni ] sitting there watching my film. And then to receive the applause that my film got, it was so incredible. And then the next day the majority of the American press just turn it into this horrible thing. Once again, everybody is entitled to their opinion, man. Maybe it's a bad film? Maybe it's a good film?
To me it's just a film. It's something I needed to make. I started out as a guitarist in the early '80s. I hooked up with a guy who idolized James Dean and he gave me a copy of the Dean biography, "The Mutant King", which I thought was really interesting. I wasn't really into acting at the time - but James Dean was the catalyst. I don't have a mental picture of the houses we lived in because there were so many. The horrible thing was that it wasn't understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing.
So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I'd sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I'm sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe. 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 Jesus, not many people Stephen Hawking! There's nothing - you know - nothing else like music. Nothing that touches us on that, uh, that deep level. Music can open up so many emotions that we didn't know we had.
It's the magical thing about musicals, you know, on the stage or on film or whatever. Love songs. They work so well because music touches us, emotionally, where words alone can't. 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. What was it called? A very interesting book. I wasn't exactly going for that with the character.
And Keith is not flamboyant in his actions. Keith is pretty stealth. But with Jack, it was more that I liked the idea of being ambiguous, of taking this character and making everything a little bit. Because women were thought to be bad luck on ships. And these pirates would go out for years at a time. So, you know, there is a possibility that one thing might lead to another. Go on. Study Shakespeare". So it's one of the things that keep ricocheting around in my head.
He told me that by the time he had got to the point where he felt he could do "Hamlet", it was too late. So he said, "Do it now, do it while you can". And I would like to do it - although it's one of the more frightening ideas I've had.
I think as an actor it is good to feel the fear of failing miserably. I think you should take that risk. Fear is a necessary ingredient in everything I do. But if I do "Hamlet" it will probably be in a small theater on a small stage and it will have to be very, very soon because I'm getting a little long in the tooth for it.
Having kids was a huge change for me. Becoming a father. But I think more than changing, I feel like I've been revealed to myself, I kind of found out who I was.
When you meet your child for the first time and you're looking at this angel, you start realizing what an idiot you've been for so many years and how much time you've wasted. As far as being feet-on-the-ground, once again my kids and ['girlfriend Vanessa Paradis ] have given me a proper foundation. A sense of home that I never had in my life, a real sense of a place to be. I loved playing Edward Scissorhands because there's nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him.
It's almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realize I'm not Edward. What I said was, the United States of America is a young country compared to Europe, compared to, you know, other countries.
We're young. We're and something years old. He is a brother, a friend, my godson's father. He is a unique and brave soul, someone that I would go to the ends of the earth for, and I know, full and well, he would do the same for me. There's no preparing, you just do it. There was no screenplay, no director, nothing. For some unknown reason, I just said I was in. As a person, I was pretty much a lost cause at that time in my life.
She turned all that around for me with her incredible tenderness and understanding. I love our house in the country. I can walk to the nearby village and have a coffee and no one pays any notice.
I'm just another dad with my daughter on my knee. The time I've spent in France with [girlfriend Vanessa Paradis ] has solidified my belief that I can keep a major distance from Hollywood and still keep in the game. Acting is my living, but I don't want to live it.
Living in France is the first time I can honestly say I feel at home. There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy. I can weigh all the options, but there's always one thing that goes: "Johnny, this is the one. All the amazing people that I've worked with - Marlon Brando , Al Pacino , Dustin Hoffman - have told me consistently: don't compromise.
Do your work, and if what you're giving is not what they want, you have to be prepared to walk away. I had never experienced that before. And it's been fun to visit Hollywood and talk to studios as a bankable actor for a change.
I've been around long enough to know that one week, you're on the exclusive list of guys who can open a movie, and then the next week, you're off the list. It's been a fun ride, and I'm enjoying it for all it's worth. It was the same feeling I had about Edward Scissorhands. I'd count her change at the end of the night. She cursed like a sailor, played cards and smoked cigarettes. I was a weird kid. I wanted to be Bruce Lee.
I wanted to be on a SWAT team. My cousins had a gospel group and they came down and played gospel songs, and that was the first time I ever saw an electric guitar. I was about twelve years old. Then I locked myself in a room for a year and taught myself how to play, learned off records, and then I started playing in little garage bands. The first group I was ever in was called Flame.
Then I was in The Kids. They were the ones who moved to Hollywood. It had two identical grocery stores opposite each other and nothing much ever happened there. At first we'd wear T-shirts that said "Flame" on them. At 13 I was wearing plain T-shirts. Then I used to steal my mom's clothing.
She had all these crushed velvet shirts with French-cut sleeves. And, like, seersucker bell bottoms. I dreamed of having platforms, but couldn't find any. I'd been in high school three years, and I may have just walked in yesterday. I had, like, eight credits. I was in my third year of high school and I didn't want to be there. I was bored out of my mind and I hated it. I hung around with bad crowds.
We used to break and enter places. We'd break into the school and destroy a room or something.
