Johnny Depp & Lawrence Krauss (PT02): Finding The Creativity In Madness

Johnny Depp & Lawrence Krauss: Finding The Creativity In Madness.
Part 01 - • Johnny Depp & Lawrence...
Video by Black Chalk Productions
Join Golden Globe winner and renowned actor, producer, author and musician Johnny Depp and Origins Project director Lawrence Krauss for An Origins Project Dialogue, Finding the Creativity in Madness.
This dialogue is associated with a closed scientific workshop in partnership with the National Institutes of Health held to spark discussions of big, unanswered questions on how the brain and machines process patterns, aimed at understanding consciousness, intelligence, and madness.
This on stage discussion focuses on the humanity of madness, revealing Depp's experience and creative method as an actor who has portrayed such eccentric fictional and nonfictional characters as Edward Scissorhands, Hunter S. Thompson, Captain Jack Sparrow, and John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester while exploring and unraveling the intricate links between creativity and madness.

This man needs to do audiobooks, his voice is so smooth like butter to bread!!

[@LongJoansRockNRollGlamHour]

He has one. It’s the Keith richards biography one

[@grettakeane5042]

Your comment is very accurate

[@christineconnelly2642]

Mr Depp is without a doubt a very eloquent speaker. He may call himself a 'drop out' but he's brilliant and articulate.

[@Irelandgal]

💎👏👏👏👏👏

[@alilwildwithcat167]

As someone with ADHD (like Jonny) I can definitely relate to the way he seems to have to "put his sentences together" before he says them. the stuttering and pauses, interrupting himself to add more context to things he hasn’t said yet 🥰 It tends to annoy neurotypicals. But they are the most well thought-out and insightful sentences when he he does it.

[@boops1192]

Sometimes, actually, oftentimes, genius cannot exist in a classroom. There are numerous examples I won’t bore you with. Those with a yearning to learn cannot endure the criminality of a classroom. Genius requires the freedom to learn at its own pace. At times, it requires contemplation. At times, it’s a mighty, rushing River. Mr. Depp isn’t frequently referred to as an eloquent speaker. He stumbles through words, because choosing the correct, the accurate, the precise word is more important than eloquence to him. He is a wise speaker. He is an intelligent, self-educated man. Unrelated but, you have a beautiful name. It’s not my intent to disagree or become argumentative with you. It’s to expound in your observations. Like Mr. Depp, I word born in a small town in Kentucky. My relationship with my mother is difficult. I have no doubt it’s in part who I am and in part her own suffering of her own unrealized dreams or satisfied creativity. The completeness of truth of that statement I can never know in this lifetime. I do know the thoughts of Kentucky folk are always diminished. The thoughts of children from unstable homes are diminished. The sons of the father (and mother) are passed to their children. Like carbon, with pressure and (generations) time, we sometimes are rewarded with a Diamond…or even a Diamond mine. The brightest of all considerations to you and yours 😘

[@TMH792]

To imagine what he was going through in this interview is heart breaking. I have never heard a human being basically describe Complex PTSD so poetically. The silence… it’s painful. Opiates, the only time in my life I felt peace, but cannot go there again. Addicts are sensitive people. This was such an incredible interview and he’s always been obsessed with the truth. I love that. As for me not having a “childhood” you become obsessed with the truth bc nothing made sense when you were gaslit into believing your experiences were not real or there was something inherently “wrong” with you. Such an incredible human being. An inspiration to be your true authentic self, even though you don’t even know who that is sometimes. It’s a certain kind of hell some will never understand. So unbelievably talented!! Great interview!

[@MargueriteKrux2]

It amazes me just to know what he was going through back in 2016 and what he had gone through but still he seems to be able to connect with people always, no matter where he is seating. This is the best interview I've ever seen with Johnny Depp, it has so much in it that I'd need to watch it more than one.

And yet here we are in 2022 sadly, with one of my favorite persons, Mr. Depp, being cast into the reality star he never wanted to be, as we onlook with a sense of it being a guilty pleasure, a need we must fulfill. I being one of the guiltiest, I am ashamed to admit. Thank you Mr. Depp in overriding that role and being brave enough to stand up for truth. For that is really all that matters isn't it.

Johnny's right, we don't think of the now it's what we have done before now and how it may or may not effect our future. our anxiety and angst is ran on that fuel of past and future. I needed to hear that today as I find myself not focusing on the now and I need to do badly. Johnny if you read this know that I understand. From. your child hood to mine, from addiction to wanting to numb it all away and the fight it takes to beat it. To utter gas lighting and abuse. You're now the building blocks of strength for people who relate to you. No pressure buddy, but I am proud of you. Even if you don't see how great and amazing you are, WE do on your behalf.

[@LarryJamesWulfDesign]

Amazing Q & A. I believe the realization that Johnny came to of the illness of "reality television" and the culture is fosters is a mental sickness of possibly the worst sort, that insight is utter brilliance. Certainly helps explain a lot of our current cultural situations we find ourselves in.

[@neraknawoc7709]

Isn’t it just so bloody depressing that his whole life has become a part of it knowing how he feels about it and how intelligent and interesting he is. How sad that his marriage reduced his story to ‘reality tv’ at its most degrading levell

[@spiritvulner]

Thanks for this session, amazing comments throughout the entire discussion. Just a note to Johnny, or anyone who has dropped high school mid-way: it doesn't mean that people with diplomas or degrees are more intellectual than you are - most probably it is the opposite, as you experience life first hand, you are out there from a far younger age than most PhD holders and you have most likely have seen more sides of reality than the theoretics, since they base their knowledge of world through papers, researches and books. Please do not disregard yourself of being smart just because of this lack of educational period in your life. It is not such a big miss, as you might think.

[@rogerstubbs5593]

Hi. I, like half the world, have been following Depp vs Heard. He is so credible and in this interview he confirms that he listens to music while he is working as it helps him get even more into character he is portraying. Some quack psychologist said he was getting his lines fed through his earpiece......... Roger

[@eclaire_x88x]

Yep and she sat there listening to him talk about that and she still tried to say he was being fed lines. She knows damn well what the truth is.

[@cidalianeves7585]

For someone who hates voyeurism to allow is private live to be broadcast for all the world to see was incredibly brave but I think it also speaks to his deep regard for the truth. Showing the world the truth was more important than to safeguard his privacy.

That answer, "bourbon or scotch" reminds me of something I heard 40 years ago, a Fellini quote, "What question would you like to be asked". There's a story that Frederico Fellini showed up for a radio interview and was asked what question would he most like to be asked and here was his answer: "Mr. Fellini, is this interview over?" and then he answered "Yes." And he got up left.

For Johnny Depp Invocazione dello Spirito Santo Vieni , Santo Spirito, manda a noi dal cielo un raggio della tua luce. Vieni, padre dei poveri, vieni, datore dei doni, vieni, luce dei cuori. Consolatore perfetto, ospite dolce dell'anima, dolcissimo sollievo. Nella fatica, riposo, nella calura, riparo, nel pianto, conforto. O luce beatissima, invadi nell'intimo il cuore dei tuoi fedeli. Senza la tua forza, nulla é nell'uomo, nulla senza colpa. Lava ciò che é sordido, bagna ciò che é arido, sana ciò che sanguina. Piega ciò che é rigido, scalda ciò che è gelido, drizza ciò che é sviato. Dona ai tuoi fedeli che solo in te confidano i tuoi santi doni. Dona virtù e premio, dona morte santa, dona gioia eterna.
