Johnny Depp is sick of being famous.

The "Pirates Of The Caribbean" star would love to lead a quiet life and hopes the public tire of him soon.

He said, "I don't want to be a product. I want to be totally outside and far away from all of it. I'm sure it will be a possibility someday again. Maybe when I get old. They get tired of you."

Johnny - who has two children, Lily-Rose, eight, and five-year-old Jack, with partner Vanessa Paradis - tries to keep his personal life private after getting advice from the late Marlon Brando.

He said, "Brando told me, 'That's your world and it's nobody else's business. It's not anybody's entertainment.' "

While Johnny - who can soon be seen in Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" - loves being an actor, he hates the attention that comes with it.

He added to Esquire magazine, "It'll definitely make you a little weird if you're constantly being stared at. I'm not a great fan of all the stuff that goes along with it. Of course you want the movies to do well. But I don't want to know who's hot now and who's not and who's making this much dough and who is with this woman or that one. I want to remain ignorant of all this."

He probably doesn't want to seem rude by rejecting interviews. But I understand him, yet at the same time he should know that lack of privacy is the price of fame.
