Not All Treasure Is Silver And Gold,

Thank God I Never Hooked On Anything. I Never Had A Monkey On My Back. I Just Wanted To Self-medicate, To Numb Myself Through Liquor. It's How I Dealt With Life, Reality, Stress, Change, Sadness, Memories. The List Goes On. I Was Really Trying To Feel Nothing.

[the Huge Success Of Curse Of The Black Pearl] Made Perfect Sense To Me On The One Hand, And At The Same Time, It Made No Sense At All, Which I Kind Of Enjoyed. Even Now, With The Dolls And The Cereal Boxes And Snacks And Fruit Juices, It All Just Feels Fun To Me, In A Warholian Way. It's Absurd. It Doesn't Get More Absurd.

I've Been Told I Smell Good. I Don't Look Like I Smell Good.

I Can't Stand Not Being Able To Joke Around On Set, So I Have To.

With A Character Like A Captain Jack, Who Can Essentially Set Up These Verbal Land Mines Around Him, And Just Keep Passing The "absurdity Ball" Around And The "irreverence Ball" Around, And Keep People Guessing And Keep People Confused, There's Great Safety In That. Me, Myself, Personally, I Learn From It. It's A Real Pleasure, And I Do Need Him.
