London, July 9 (IANS) Actor Johnny Depp thinks himself lucky to be such a successful actor considering that many of his movies flopped at the box office.
Depp, who has now experienced success with 'Pirates Of The Caribbean', confesses he is not a great judge of whether the scripts he is sent will turn out to be successful movies, reported contactmusic.com.
He said: 'I was in a cluster of movies that by Hollywood definitions were not successful. They were flops. But to me, they were all successful and I don't feel any different about a success or failure.
'I don't know how to explain it, but by some miracle I have always been able to choose my characters for movies. Being able to get jobs throughout the 90s when, in the language of Hollywood, I was box-office poison should have been hard, yet I was able to do everything single film I wanted to do.
'To me, whether I am playing 'Ed Wood' or 'Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas', all these movies have commercial potential. Pirates could have easily flopped. It's always a crap shoot.'
