JohnnyDepp

He inspires me because he has gone through alot throughout his life, yet he is a very successful man. He even dropped out of highschool. Most drop outs don't succeed in life, most of the time they end up with a job at Mcdonalds, or on the streets begging for money, or just barely making it through life. But, Johnny Depp, he is different. He didn't give up when life got rough. He stuck through the rough rimes in life, such as, dropping out of highschool, drugs, bad relationships, &being the "odd one" in the family. He plays in alot of best known movies, Pirates of theCaribbean, Charlie&the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, & many more. In my opinion, Johnny Depp is a great actor. One of my favorite actors now, now that I know alot more about him than I did when I just watched his movies. Johnny Depp inspires me, he helps me to keep moving forward, not to give up, and to keep going. :)
Quotes by Johnny Depp:
“I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.”

“With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.”

"They stick you with those names, those labels -- ‘rebel’ or whatever; whatever they like to use. Because they need a label; they need a name. They need something to put the price tag on the back of.”
