Johnny Depp: “I don’t watch my films. Last year in France Ed Wood came on television and it was dubbed in French and it was so surreal. So I watched about 10 minutes of it and that’s all. Then another time Gilbert Grape came on. I saw the opening credits and then the opening scene – and then I started to hyperventilate and I just shut the TV off and walked away. I figured that once I’m wrapped on a film, once my job is done, then anything beyond that is none of my business.”

Sunday December 18, 2005 – Recently Katie Melua dished with Pogues singer Shane MacGowan on Johnny Depp, for The Observer…

KM: Johnny Depp recently said you’ve produced ‘beautiful lyrics that are a great gift to the world.’ What do you make of that? A fair summary?

SM: Ha! He is a great actor and a great guitar player too. We played together. He really heavied it up. His guitar playing releases all of his rage and frustration. We did one song together, but forgot to record it. But it sounded like an atom bomb going off!

KM: You took a small part in his recent film The Libertine, didn’t you?

SM: Yeah, I enjoyed working with him, but they dumped the bit I was in. I was supposed to be a drunken minstrel so I put together a really offensive anti-Catholic, anti-Monarchist, anti-English song that would offend everyone in the crowd. They hadn’t told the crowd of extras that they weren’t meant to clap politely. But Johnny and I might work together again, on the story of Brendan Behan, who at the height of his fame managed to drink himself to death.
