Johnny Depp says he’s not going to lose sleep over what critics think about his movies.
The actor covers Details magazine's December issue, in which he explained how he dealt with the recent box office flop of his movies such as Transcendence and The Lone Ranger.
"As Marlon [Brando] once so beautifully f*cking said to me, life is a birdsong. That's stuck with me. What is really satisfying is, like Marlon, getting to that place where he just didn't give a f*ck. First, I reached a point where I cared so much and was so diligent in terms of approaching the work. Then you get to where you care so f**king much that it gets goddamn beleaguering, you know? But then a great thing happens. Suddenly you care enough to not give a f**k, because not giving a f**k, that's the total liberation. Being game to try anything,” Depp said.
However, despite "not giving a f**k", Depp said attempting to surpass the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is difficult.
“It’s like being a dog at the track. They expect you to live up to some race you happened to be in and won accidentally. From that first second, you’re nothing more than a commodity. They have expectations of another Pirates. It’s great if something works. Boy, that’s killer. But God, to have that as your design…it’s ugly, I think. I’m f**kin shy too. I'm f**kin' shy, man. I'm living, in a sense, like a fugitive. I don't like to be in social situation. It's fine for me in a weird way, having to run and hide. Less and less, I have the opportunity to observe, because I'm the one being observed,” he said.
