I've Thought Of Doing Many Things In

When I Got The Job, I Was Sure That I Wasn't Going To Get The Job Because Tom Cruise Almost Got The Job.

Better To Not Know Which Moment May Be Your Last. Every Morsel Of Your Entire Being Alive To The Infinite Mystery Of It All.

Interestingly Enough, For Me, A Character Like Captain Jack, You Feel Like You Could Just Continue. The Possibilities Are Endless And Limitless. There Is Any Possibility Of Madness And Absurdity That Could Commence, So You Feel That, With This Character, You're Never Really Done.

I Had Never Experienced Anything Like The Response I Got From People For Pirates Of The Caribbean, Where You Meet A 75-year-old Woman Who Had Seen Pirates And Somehow Related To The Character, And Then Five Minutes Later You Meet A Six-year-old Who Says, 'oh, You're Captain Jack!' What A Rush. What A Gift. That Was The Challenge With Wonka, Too--to Be, In A Sense, Like Bugs Bunny. I Find It Magical That A Three-year-old Can Be Mesmerized By Bugs, But So Can A 40-year-old Or An 80-year-old. It's A Great Challenge To See If You Can Appeal To That Huge An Age Range.

It's A Great Honor That Something That You Took Part In Creating Becomes This Forever Object.
