More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm never really conscious of saying, I'm going to take on a specific role to combat a certain image in the public eye. I think that's pretty manipulative and transparent to the public anyway.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I don't think my parents would be shocked about anything I did, because they're so laid-back.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay.
Leonardo DiCaprio
People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes what they want is to see you fall.
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
If a film is good, and I'm sort of able to sit there and absorb myself within that world. And get lost. That is a pretty powerful tool. And there's not many paintings out there, that make me want to stare at it for hours at a time, and wonder where I am!
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
The more I've acted, I've realised that I have a) no control of and b) no way of really quite understanding how people react to anything I do, or any movie I do.
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 been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.
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 like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
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
To play a repressed gay man, I had to explore what life was like in an era of sexual repression.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
Leonardo DiCaprio
