There's very little admirable about being a pirate. There's very little functional about a pirate. There's very little real about a pirate.

I'm not a pirate. I'm an innovator.

I have more respect for somebody who points at his ideal - in this case, the ideal of the pirate - and then becomes something that's more radical, more exciting, more subversive than a pirate could ever be.

I think that pirates represent every person's ability to get up and leave their current daily situation and go on an adventure, and maybe to see things and do things they've never done before or even dreamed of doing.

I always say, 'I'm not a pirate, I just play one on TV.'

I think if I could be a man in any time period, I would be a pirate. You know, go climbing in the rigging, sword fighting. I'd like to do that.

I have a ship's bed, which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.

I have been interested in pirates since I was about 8 years old. The idea of people deciding, sometimes at a moment's notice, to throw over the rules and restrictions of society - it was just irresistible.

Pirates have always fascinated me.

I am part of this generation with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Peter Pan.' I think we all grew up in this culture of pirates.
