Johnny Depp remembers Hunter S. Thompson

We've discussed Hunter S. Thompson recently, but it's worth a reprise for Depp's piece:

The Hunter circa 1971 and 1972, i.e., the Fear and Loathing era, that’s the Hunter where the hair went away and the voice was there in full force. The Hunter from 1959 and 1960 was this long, lean, athletic, handsome man, who used to type The Great Gatsby over and over to see what it felt like to write a masterpiece. He was a kid searching for his voice and looking for the outlet for that rage, anger, and passion. In terms of how Iapproached The Rum Diary as an actor, Raoul Duke [from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas] is the fully realized Hunter Thompson, and this character, Paul Kemp, is the Hunter teetering on locating that voice, pre-Gonzo.
