Keith Richards on Johnny Depp, the Scream Awards and talking like a pirate

What is it with pirates? They are the most despicable people on earth (after politicians and estate agents) but yes everyone loves them. Children dress up as pirates, films are made, people talk like pirates. There is even a "talk like a pirate day" every year. Maybe one day children will dress up as terrorists and comedies will be made about cheeky Taliban blowing up banks and hotels.

You never know who you're going to meet at the Scream Awards -- last year I found myself standing between Marilyn Manson and George Lucas -- and this year didn't disappoint. Not long after I arrived at the Greek Theatre for the taping of this year's show I was whisked off to a trailer for an unexpected interview with a guitar hero who qualifies as true rock royalty -- even if he was tapping his cigarette into an ashtray he had just made out of aluminum foil.
