| Denise Denovi (producer): “Johnny could do any movie he wants yet he chooses to take risks on emotionally complex parts. The camera likes his cheekbones but it also likes what comes through in his eyes.” |
| Burton: “In America at the time, Johnny was very well known as a teen idol and he was perceived as difficult and aloof. All sorts of things were written about him in the press that are simply not true. I mean, in person, he is very funny, a warm guy. He’s a normal guy – at least in my interpretation of what is normal. But he is described as being dark and difficult and weird, and he is judged by his looks. That is thematically what ES is about, so he could really relate to these things in a way that I think is unique to him.” |
| “He’s the character that I deeply understand. Still now, I miss Edward. I can remember the last time in make-up, I really had the feeling that I was leaving somebody – somebody who was very close to me.” |
| Terry Gilliam: “I saw Edward Scissorhands, and Depp first appears with a terrible fright wig on and he’s got pasty make-up, and you think, ’Oh this is a joke. This is never going to work.’ And within ten, fifteen minutes, I totally believed the character. Now that’s an extraordinary talent.” |
