“
[My cinematic characters are] all still there [in my psyche], which on some level can't be the healthiest thing in the world. . . I always picture it as this chest of drawers in your body—Ed Wood is in one, the Hater is in another, Scissorhands is in another. They stick with you. Hunter [S. Thompson]s certainly in there—you know, Raoul Duke. The weirdest thing is that I can access them. They're still very elose to the surface.”
Johnny Depp, to Patti Smith, “The Crowded Mind of Johnny Depp,” January 2011
