imwaldeFrom the Rolling Stone interview with Johnny Depp, in the July 13-27 issue:
[RS] When people talk about your portrayal of Jack Sparrow, they generally mention Keith [Richards] but also point out a certain gay undercurrent.
[JD] Well, there was a great book that I read. What was it called? Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition. A very interesting book. I wasn't exactly going for that with the character. And Keith is not flamboyant in his actions. Keith is pretty stealth. But with Jack, it was more that I liked the idea of being ambiguous, of taking this character and making everything a little bit...questionable. Because women were thought to be bad luck on ships. And these pirates would go out for years at a time. So, you know, there is a possibility that one thing might lead to another.
[RS] Could happen.
[JD] You're lonely. You have an extra ration of rum. *shrugs* "Cabin boy!"
Heeeee.
In other news, I hate tourists who make me miss a Metro I'm trying to catch because they are dumb. STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT, MOTHERFUCKERS! Next time, I'm shoving them down the damn escalator. Welcome to DC, bitches!
