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 don't really know much about pirates, or pirate culture. I'd be a contrarian pirate.
I'm not a pirate. I'm an innovator.
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 don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it.
If you want to get my attention, wear a pirate outfit.
When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.
There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates.
Once you discover that real pirates are more interesting than fictional ones, you can't look away.
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.
