JD: There were a number of people, you know, when those first dailies came in, it was like, What's that? What's he doing? I just kind of ended up having a few conference calls and meetings and stuff, and basically, again, I really had a feeling that I had my hooks into this guy so deeply. I just had a feeling that kiddies would like him and that it wouldn't just be like a kiddie character; the average Joe could like him and the heaviest of intellectuals could like him. What's amazing to me is I didn't do anything different than any other character, you know what I mean? I mean, I just did the same job that I always do. But somehow the film hit, and now I meet these little kids who go, "Man, you're Captain Jack!" And you can see in their eyes that it's not Johnny Depp or any of that bullshit - they're meeting Captain Jack. God, what a high that is. That you've somehow pierced that curtain and have made an effect to some degree. That little kid'll have that memory of watching that movie when he's a grown man or a grown woman. And that, to me, that means so much.
