Some of it was mad. The thing is, it simply just was, and it simply just is. So, for me, it happened. I learned, man,” he told the outlet.He continued, “Everything that we experience, whether you’re given a snow cone or walking your dog, you learn something somewhere along the way.

Why carry that baggage?”Depp, who directed a film about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani titled “Modì – Three Days on the Wing of Madness,” also spoke about shaking up his approach to filmmaking, after having previously said he didn’t feel like he needed Hollywood anymore.“I had a few bouts with Hollywood over their particular easy way and the fluid three-act structure and all the stuff that is predictable.

And I am sorry, but I had to get in there and whip it around a little bit…” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said.“Everything that we experience…you learn something somewhere along the way.
