Once known as a Hollywood bad boy, Johnny Depp has grown into more of a suburban dad. By ALICIA QUARLES – Wednesday, July 13, 2005.

Q. It seems you haven’t done a straight-up Hollywood film. Would you ever?

Depp: There were a few things that came around the bend, that they tried to get me involved in. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. The seed for me was tainted. There was no redemption in there. It was kind of a sellout for a [lot] of money. You would go in and do the work and take the money, but it wasn’t anything that you would be particularly proud of. That, I couldn’t do. I’ve attempted things in the past where people thought I tried to sell out. For example I did this film “Nick of Time” with [director] John Badham. I don’t know if the film was particularly good. I did that film not for money, or not to sell out. I didn’t think it was going to be successful at all. I didn’t care. I did it because I wanted to work with Christopher Walken and I wanted to work with John Badham. The script was very much like an old-school Hitchcock film. All of those elements were intriguing to me, so I took it.

Depp: In a way…yeah…in a way. Yeah…I was a…I was a gas station attendant, and I…so I used to pump gas and the whole thing, and then one day the owner of the place came out and said, “You’re going to work in the garage, now.” And I tried….to stop him…from allowing me to do that.

Leno: Had you had any experience working on cars?

Depp: No. No, I knew absolutely nothing about cars. Uh, and then I, you know…I ended up…he said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll show you”. So I did like, wheel alignments and all this stuff, until…one day… I did what I thought was a terrific wheel alignment, you know, changed all the tires and uh, put all the lugs back on.

It never entered my mind.” He added, “It doesn’t bother me, everyone’s entitled to think what they want, even while being violently wrong.”
