Life & Style recently interviewed Johnny Depp and though his answers were corny, mushy dad stuff, I still love this man.
Q: You’re such a famous actor — how important is your family in keeping you grounded?
A: My family is my sanctuary. I live for them. I finally found a reason
to exist in this world. There’s nothing like it. I would give away
everything if I could only keep my family. They have given me life, and
they’re the greatest gift in the world. "
Q: How do you keep your romance with Vanessa so strong?
A: I think trust is the most important thing in a relationship, along
with the ability to communicate honestly with each other. Once
communication stops, that waylays danger.
Q: You and Vanessa never married — do you think you will at some point?
A: We have considered ourselves husband and wife since the day we moved
in together. We just haven’t gone through the formality.
Q: How do you feel about having to raise your children in today’s uncertain world?
A: As a parent, my job, besides giving them love and education, is to
protect them by not allowing the harsh realities and difficulties of
our world into theirs. You’ve got these pure, innocent little things,
and all they want is love and happiness.
Q: You move around with your family a lot, having lived in LA and France. Have you always been such a free spirit?
A: Yes. It has to do with my upbringing. I don’t like to be stuck in
one place for too long. We were total nomads when I was growing up. We
traveled around all the time. It’s ingrained in my being. I think it’s
good for kids to get out there and see the world.
Q: You’ve been working a lot lately. What would be your dream vacation?
A: Running around on the beach with the kids and taking them out on the
boat. I want to take them swimming with dolphins, though hopefully not
with sharks!
