Johnny Depp Talks Moss, Movies

The 42-year-old actor recently criticized press treatment of

ex-girlfriend Kate Moss and reports of the supermodel's alleged drug

use.

"What I know about Kate Moss is that she's a good kid, you know. And

she's somebody's mother," he told AP Television News at Friday night's

premiere.

"But they (the press) took and dragged her through such a horrific

time for something you can call a mistake. ... We're all human, we're

all very flawed in our own way, and to capitalize on that and sell it

as a product is pretty vicious, because her kid is going to grow up to

that someday."

Earlier in the evening, Depp was honored for his body of film work,

which includes Oscar-nominated roles in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The

Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Finding Neverland," as well as "Charlie

and the Chocolate Factory," "Chocolat" and "Edward Scissorhands."

During the presentation, Depp made jokes -- mostly self-effacing ones

-- and let the audience know that he wasn't entirely comfortable

seeing his old roles on the screen.

He later told the AP, "What was bordering on torture was just having

to watch those clips -- not the clips themselves, but me -- seeing me.

I'm not very used to that, you know. I like walking away from a film

with the experience. I love it. But I don't like having to watch what

I went through."
