Johnny Depp's homeless vow

Johnny Depp would rather be homeless and poor than lose his family.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor has two children, Lily-Rose, eight, and five-year-old Jack, with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and insists they are the most important things in his life.

He said: "My family is my sanctuary. I live for them now. I finally found a reason to exist in this world. There is nothing like it. I would give everything away, if I could keep my family."

Depp - who has just finished shooting Tim Burton's 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' - says one of his greatest pleasures in life is seeing his children blossom into their own personalities.

The former hellraiser said: "What keeps you feeling young more than anything is your kids, hanging around your kids, watching them experience things for the first time, seeing their imaginations bloom and flower. That's the key to all of it for me.

"Just the miracle of saving a drawing they made when they were three years old and looking at one they made when they were four - there's a vast difference in that. And then up to six and seven and it's like, 'I'm raising Picasso!' "
