Quote

It was closer to manual labor than shooting a film. I always think of something Michael Caton-Jones told me: 'Pain is temporary. Film is forever.'

Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.

I spent a long time in art school so I can really draw. I'll doodle and suddenly I'll find the beginning of the movie in one picture. Usually, I start my stuff on the telephone. Right by the telephone I've got a book of doodles. When I'm on the phone, I'll be doing a drawing eventually.

Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery

I prefer ordinary girls - you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn't mean we are dating.

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.

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!

At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.

Protecting our future on this planet depends on the conscious evolution of our species.

What I would do in order to be popular was, I'd put myself on line and joke around and be funny, and I was always known as the crazy kid.

We actually did a lot of takes on this movie [J. Edgar Hoover]. I never left the set wanting more. That's for sure. I don't know. This was a very difficult character for me and a lot of the other actors here, and at times we went and did 8 or 9 or 10 takes on a single day.

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

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.

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

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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

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

I insist on keeping a level head. I've maintained the same exact home life that I’ve had for 20 years. All I see is more people looking at me than before. But, you know, who cares? You just can't obsess yourself with this fame stuff.

I know a lot of the intense moments in 'Titanic' were made that much easier and were pushed to even further limits because of that relationship.
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!
