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.

I Was Poisoning Myself With Alcohol And Medicating Myself. I Was Trying To Numb Things. I Was Trying Not To Feel Things, And That's Ridiculous. It's One Of The Dumbest Things You Can Do, Because All You're Doing Is Postponing The Inevitable. Someday You'll Have To Look All Those Things In The Eye Rather Than Try To Numb The Pain.
