Johnny Depp Talks About Making Movies

(Filed under: Inspired)

Johnny Depp talks with USA Today about his movie career. Break out roles have included 21 Jump Street and his first collaboration with Tim Burton, Edward Scissorhands.

Depp continues to star in top-notch flicks, including this summer's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He explains his rationale for picking projects, which includes not doing something for money and doing work his children can be proud of--a motivation that started long before he even had children.

I was released (from Jump Street) while I was doing Edward Scissorhands, and I swore to myself that I would only work on these films or these projects that I would at least someday be able to say to my kids, 'That was all me. That's pure me. I didn't sell out because I don't want you to be mortified or embarrassed.' So that was what was in my head at the time, just thinking if I am going to this, I am going to do it on my terms. If I am going to fail, I am going to fail on my own terms.
