I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.

More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It's very hard to impose your beliefs or a specific message about any given movie. I think that audiences always extract what they want from a film even if something isn't overtly political. They may or may not get it, and it's hard to control that.
Leonardo DiCaprio
When I grew up, I lived in the ghettos of Hollywood it was the most disgusting place to be. I was known as the crazy little kid. I did impressions. Then I realized that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be a comedian to please other people.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I've never known a situation in my career where a terrible script turned into a movie that was out of this world or was a success.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Sam [Mendes] said he took advantage of the fact that Kate and I were so close for many years. He knew it was something he could harness in our performances, and we knew that too.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don’t think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I think actors make the mistake of finding their little niche in the business and once they try to do something a little darker, boom, they get slapped across the face for it, so they go back to what they did before.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I hate complaining about paparazzi, I hate complaining about being recognised, because if I ultimately didn't want to be an actor or in the public eye, I would quit doing what I do. That's not the reason I do it, but I love the work so much that it's worth it.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I like to prepare as much as possible beforehand, but there's definitely that element of fear when you're on set, and you have to be conscious of it and use that fear to drive you to work harder.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It's amazing to completely focus on something for four, five or six months, have it completely consume your life and be constantly thinking about somebody else's set of circumstances and how they would react to something. I find it fascinating. It's rewarding and on a professional and personal level.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I have no problem playing anyone who has different politics than me. In fact, I don't take that into consideration at all. You have to find something sympathetic in a man. It's that common ground you need to connect with someone.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Yes, I can play younger than my age. But I can play characters older than I am, too. I'm not an actor who can just play the kid.
Leonardo DiCaprio
[Success] always starts with the material it always starts with the truth and honesty of the characters that you read in the screenplay and that's rarely something that can be remedied if it's simply not there by the time you shoot the film. Thank God we had that.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My mother is a walking miracle.
Leonardo DiCaprio
When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My parents know I was outgoing as a child, and whenever people came over I'd automatically do impressions of them as soon as they left it was my mom's favorite thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Since I was very young I've been fascinated with nature and I actually wanted to be a marine biologist when I was very young. That was a great passion of mine. So I suppose in the off season when I'm not making movies, I became more and more active as an environmentalist trying to be more vocal about issues that I felt were important.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm not really the quiet type, although some people think I am. But I'm the rebel type in the sense that I don't think I'm like everyone else. I try to be an individual.
Leonardo DiCaprio
