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

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.

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.

We've been given this gift, our planet, and we've found no other place in the universe that we can inhabit. I want to do something to create radical change to help save it. It's our responsibility.

Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.

Image
My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I believe humankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.

I think sexiness in most people - and this is going to sound superficial - is definitely something you don't plan.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I cheated a lot, because I just couldn't sit and do homework. I usually sat next to someone extremely smart.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
Sometimes I wonder will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other? Then I look around and I realize God left this place a long time ago.

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.

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.
