WINNING an AcademyAward is seen as the pinnacle achievement of any actor'scareer, but Johnny Depphas revealed that he isn't interested in the slightest.
"I don't want to win one of those things ever, you know. Idon't want to have to talk," he said as he promoted his new film,Black Mass - in which he plays notoriouscriminal Whitey Bulger -  at the BFI FilmFestival in London. For Depp, it seems, acknowledgement from theAcademy is reward enough.

"They gave me one of those things, like a nomination, twoor three times. A nomination is plenty," he added, referring to hisBest Actor nods for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse ofthe Black Pearl in 2003, Finding Neverland in 2004and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in2008.

"The idea of winning means that you're in competition withsomeone and I'm not in competition with anybody," he continued,reports Newsbeat. "I just stick to my guns and dowhat I want to do. Sometimes people don't like it but that'salright."
But, while Depp himself is nonplussed about winning an Oscar,his daughter Lily-Rose may have different ideas. The 16 year old iscurrently pursuing her own acting career and is slated to appear inno less than four films in the next year - and it's taking somegetting used to for her father.
