The Anti-Hero's Journey (Johnny Depp on Agent Sands)
"Total sociopath. Psychotic." [laughter] "You know? Not well."
[Depp on the set: "He wants them to say something! I dare you: Say something about my fake moustache."] "He would be hoping that someone would say 'Is that moustache fake?', just so that he could kill them." [Depp admiring his moustache on the set: "It's so wrong."]
"I think Sands is one of those people who's
just absolutely, totally for himself. Only for himself. And any kind of
opportunity to create
chaos, or kill, or trip someone up is purely for his own humor. Just
for his own benefit.
He just kinda' has a very, very perverse sense of humor."
"There's a nice moment - Robert and I talked about this moment - where I'm like saying, 'Okay kid, go far way', ya' know?" "Go away!" "Even a little moment like that after all the nasty stuff that Sands had done is in a way sort of redeeming in the eyes of the audience." "There's something really beautiful and kind of poetic, ya' know, about the idea of a blind gunfighter... You know, guy goes out there - no eyes - and knows he's gonna' die and has to defend himself." |
