I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.
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.

It's a tough thing-you get in a situation where you feel you have to be perfect all the time and it sucks.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

As far as my own dreams, I'm not a big dreamer, I think obviously we suppress things in life, emotions and thoughts, and we should wake up and look at that.

I'll just be the first to say that Ken [Watanabe] should be a national treasure in Japan, because he is an unbelievably talented actor. You couldn't find more of a gentleman. He's sweet, he's kind and he's extremely thoughtful in the work that he does.

I'm not a big dreamer. I never have been. I remember fragments of my dream, and I try to take a traditional sort of approach to researching this project and doing preparation for it.

I think sexiness in most people - and this is going to sound superficial - is definitely something you don't plan.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

Mozambique is having an economic resurgence but still four out of 10 people there have HIV or AIDS...There's astounding conditions but what I was left with...was the power of the human spirit there and the fact these people have been through so much and they were still dancing in the streets

Acting is the only time when I truly maintain the spontaneity that I want to be present at all times.

Image
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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
Image
I just happen to think people are better off doing something they actually like.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

Image
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.

Thousands of climate scientists agree that global warming is not only the most threatening environmental problem but also one of the greatest challenges facing all of humanity. We must demand a separation between oil and state. We can get off oil and slow global warming.
Leonardo DiCaprio

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. As for myself, I'm not really sure who I am. I change every day.
Leonardo DiCaprio

I cheated a lot, because I just couldn't sit and do homework. I usually sat next to someone extremely smart.
