I love Johnny Depp

From 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!

I laughed out load when I read that line on a plane last weekend. Everyone looked at me. "Cabin boy!"

Hee. I can just hear him saying it too.

I mean, I always knew that he knew what he was putting out there in terms of subtext in Jack, because he's too good not to know, but sometimes actors play coy, you know? I love that he will say it in print!
