#interview session

6 years ago, on March 12, 2016, Johnny Depp attended a dialogue session for the “Origins Project”, in the Gammage Auditorium, on the Tempe Campus of the Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona.

On that night, Johnny had a 2 hour long interview session with the Origins Project Director Lawrence Krauss for a talk titled “Finding the Creativity in Madness” and also a press conference for the local news. 

The on-stage discussion focused on finding the creativity and humanity in madness and how both are connected, revealing Johnny’s experience and creative method as an actor who has portrayed eccentric fictional and non-fictional characters, from Edward Scissorhands, through Hunter S. Thompson, Captain Jack Sparrow and John Wilmot, the Second Earl of Rochester,  while exploring and unraveling the intricate links between creativity and madness. 

The session was held in association with a closed scientific workshop in partnership with the National Institutes of Health that will be held to spark discussions of big, unanswered questions and how the brain and machines process patterns, aimed at understanding consciousness, intelligence and madness. 

>  Lawrence Krauss (Foundation Professor in the “School of Earth and Space Exploration and the Physics Department” at Arizona State University) talks about Johnny:

“Johnny Depp has appeared in more than 70 films in his career so far, and has unparalleled experience translating almost every aspect of the human condition to the big screen in a way that has captured the imagination of millions of viewers. I think the dialogue will be fascinating, revealing an aspect of the man that few are aware of, and also providing insights that will provoke and intrigue those in the audience. The Johnny Depp that people who attend the event will be lucky enough to listen to may surprise them. He is deeply thoughtful and has read widely on the subject of the discussion as well as about a host of other areas. We got to know each other through his interest in science and reason, and his thoughts on these subjects have always been illuminating.”
