Highlight:

MTV: Orlando Bloom has said that once the "Pirates" films are over, he wants to get away from the period stuff and establish himself in some contemporary films. You've been stereotyped and pigeonholed numerous times in your career and gotten out of it. What advice would you have for him?

Depp: For Orlando? Oh boy, I don't know if there's any advice I can give anybody. [He laughs.] I think the most important thing anyone can do is just to follow your instincts. If you're afraid to take a risk or to go outside the box that you are perceived to sort of roam around in, it's okay — you should feel fear. You should acknowledge it, and look it in the eye. Then just keep moving forward. I think it's okay for an actor to actually take the chance of failing. [You should] teeter on the brink of failure.
