A Man Apart by Martha Frankel Ever since Johnny Depp moved to France to be with Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his child, he's been making fascinating career choices, like Lasse Hallström's Chocolat and, this month, Ted Demme's Blow. Here, Depp talks about the pleasure of living in Europe, explains why he was surprised Hallström wanted to work with him, and discusses what made him bolt from the Oscars and steal Harrison Ford's limo the one year he went. On presenting at the Oscars: "[When I was presenting the Oscars] they wanted me to read this endless speech... I told them, 'I'll do this but I'm not gonna say all that stuff. I can't even read the TelePrompTer; it's too far away. And I may pass out from nerves.'" On being an Oscar favorite: "I don't think I'm a particular favorite in the eyes of the Academy. I think there are guarantees for getting nominations. You have to take the most tragic Hallmark card, adapt it into a screenplay, bawl your eyes out constantly, and do a bunch of clichéd turns and bing, you're in."
