More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
Mother Earth is hurting. And she needs a generation of thoughtful, caring and active kids like all of you to protect her for the future.
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
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I've always kind of made sure to maintain the sense of who I am and never be mean or cruel or snotty to anyone. Because, at the end of the day, it's not going to help you last in the business, and who wants to be around someone like that? I don't want to turn into 'that guy.' That guy!
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
I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.
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
I like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Our planet's alarm is going off, and it is time to wake up and take action!
Leonardo DiCaprio
The things that you did with parents, whether it was spending every Sunday morning with your dad and eating French toast and watching Popeye, or decorating the Christmas tree with our mother - these are memories that help you be happy.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Obviously, we suppress things, emotions, things during the day - thoughts that we obviously haven't thought through enough, and in that state of sleep when our subconscious, or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures, and when we wake up we should pay attention to these things.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It does feel like the middle ground has fallen out. I'm only saying that from personal experience, saying, I'd like to make that movie and hearing, Oh, they're not making those types of movies anymore.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I created my foundation as a result of that and my website, and I try to shed some light on some very topical issues right now. The idea is to try to get people to become obviously more knowledgeable about the issue and try to get corporations and individuals to contribute to these nonprofit organizations.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.
Leonardo DiCaprio
When I was doing 'This Boy's Life' I wanted to be as old as Robert DeNiro and as experienced as him and have the same respect as he did in that movie.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery
Leonardo DiCaprio
I think everyone has some sort of connection to Gatsby as a character... he's created himself according to his own emotions and dreams and lifted himself by his bootstraps from a poor kid in the Midwest and created this image that is The Great Gatsby and it's a truly American story in that regard.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I just happen to think people are better off doing something they actually like.
Leonardo DiCaprio
