GQ: Mister Depp, let's talk about coolness: they are often called cool. What does this mean for you? Who would you call cool?

Cool can mean so many different things. I always thought that an individual personality is cool. Someone who is simply himself. It's actually quite simple - I think such people are cool. Patti Smith is cool, she is unadulterated. Iggy Pop is cool, he is unadulterated. Jim Morrison was cool and unadulterated. Marlon Brando was cool and unadulterated. Hunter was cool. You know, only today someone told me about his work as a consultant for children with HIV. Children who have been adopted. It is
so brave of him to give something back to others in this way. He impressed me so much that I really wanted to be hugged by him. I worked a lot with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and got to know these children. Children with whom fate did not mean well, who have to deal with serious illnesses and pain. In their eyes there is no fear, but only bravery and courage. That's really cool. Would I call myself cool? I don't know if this really applies to me, maybe people see me that way because I'm rather quiet.
