| Quotes from Johnny Depp:
"I can remember when I finished Edward Scissorhands, looking in a mirror as the girl was doing my makeup for the last time, putting on the appliances and the prosthetics, and thinking, wow. This is it. I'm saying goodbye to this guy. I'm saying goodbye to Edward Scissorhands. It was funny, I was kind of sad. But in fact, I think they're all still in there." --Johnny Depp CombustibleCelluloid.com "The thing is even if you're playing sort of a heightened character and playing inside sort of a heightened reality, you can still apply your own truths to those characters. It's funny because what happens to me when I read a script, when something grabs hold of me, I start getting these flashes of people or places or things or images. Like with Scissorhands, I kept thinking about dogs I had when I was a child, and newborn babies." --Johnny Depp CombustibleCelluloid.com "I thought this one of the greatest things I've ever read, and, at the same time, I thought … this will never come to me. Never. Never." --Johnny Depp ABCNews.com "I always loved silent film. Everything had to come out of their emotions and their eyes and their body movements." --Johnny Depp ABCNews.com "It started out as about three, three and a half hours for makeup and hair. But we got it down to a very fast hour, hour and a half. We knew towards the end it would be exactly one can of AquaNet that would go on the hair and by the end I was helping the makeup artist apply the scars and stuff. We had it down." --Johnny Depp SplicedOnline.com "I think that for the very uncomfortable first second I met Tim in a coffee shop in, I think it was 1989, there was something instant. There was an instant connection. It was a kind of understanding, a non-understanding, an appreciation for life and human behavior, for what is considered normal and what is not considered normal. There was a connection even in a deeper sense of having felt pretty outside growing up, and freakish, and a little bit weird. Also, Tim at a very young age was sort of obsessed with horror movies, monster movies and found -- as I had -- great sanctuary in those dark places." --Johnny Depp SplicedOnline.com "When I met Tim it was for "Edward Scissorhands," and at the time I was doing a television series ("21 Jump Street") and I was just convinced he would never, ever see me in the role. Even though I knew that I knew that guy. I knew Edward Scissorhands. I knew that emotion so well. I had read the script and obviously thought it was very, very special and beautiful and funny, and I just thought there was no way he was going to see me as that, and I just thought, this is embarrassing, and I was very uncomfortable at first." --Johnny Depp SplicedOnline.com "Tim and I, during that meeting, probably drank three or four pots of coffee each. And I was literally gnawing on my coffee spoon. I left the meeting still with my coffee spoon (gritting his teeth tightly as he speaks). I was wired beyond belief. Then at the end of the meeting, it felt great, it felt great, it felt great. (And I had to tell myself), "get the thought out of your head, you are not going to be Edward Scissorhands." But I got the part." --Johnny Depp SplicedOnline.com "I dabble in gardening now and again. But topiaries, no, not really." --Johnny Depp Reel.com "Did I ever cut myself? Unfortunately, I cut other people. I lanced Anthony Michael Hall a couple of times. He was the recipient of the blades more than once. Once, there was a fight scene. The cops were chasing me down the neighborhood streets. I got him in the eye — it was horrible — with the pinky blade, which was really a sharp little bugger. He got that. It was not nice. Not nice." --Johnny Depp Reel.comon even in a deeper sense of having felt pretty outside growing up, and freakish, and a little bit weird.
