• It’s not cool to constantly contradict people for the sake of being different

• self-care isn’t watching Netflix and eating ice cream. It’s doing the dishes that are piled in the sink and calling everyone who has been blowing up your phone back and doing your laundry that hasn’t been done in weeks

• it’s not okay to belittle someone because they hold different beliefs

• you can’t replace facts and logic with feelings and biased opinions

• a lot of parents actually do know better than you do about life

• sometimes life isn’t fair, and you can’t do stupid, reckless things to avenge yourself. You have to learn to move past it and focus on important things

• rules are put in place for a reason, and most of them are there for your protection. It isn’t cool to carelessly break rules, as nothing good can come from it

• a lot of the time, you’re not right

• life isn’t all about finding the best for yourself

• sometimes you have to submit to authority figures you disagree with because that’s life

• you can’t achieve your dreams by sitting around and posting about them online. You have to go out and work hard for them

• you don’t always deserve the best. Sometimes you mess up, and you have to face the consequences and move on

• mental illnesses are not cool and shouldn’t be romanticized

• you can’t fix your life by blaming people who have it better than you do

• the more you focus on yourself, the less happy you will be. The more you focus on serving others, the happier you will find yourself

• there will come a point where you have to grow up and let go of a lot of things you held onto as a teenager

Happy 53rd Birthday John Christopher Depp II

“ I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you’re on it”

“ The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.”

“ 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.’’

“ As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.”

“ If you catch me saying ‘I am a serious actor’, I beg you to slap me.”

“I’m not sure I’m adult yet.”

“ If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.”

“ He’s very funny. We often had to stop filming because we were laughing so hard. He’s goofy and he brings out goofy in me.“ – Angelina Jolie
