More quotes by 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
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.
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
I remember when I first started having these interpretations of these images, these clichés of what movie stars are and this and that, and they're egomaniacal pricks and tyrants, but in general, for the most part, they're nice people to tell you the truth.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery
Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people, Romeo and Juliet, took a chance and they did it. We don't have the balls that Romeo did.
Leonardo DiCaprio
We were both [ with Russel Crowe] hand-plucked to do [The Quick and the Death]. He had done Romper Stomper and I had done Gilbert Grape and so we were hand- plucked to do this big budget film. So we were both very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Leonardo DiCaprio
With Romeo and Juliet, you're talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night. I believe in love at first sight-but it hasn't happened to me yet.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I have no problem playing anyone who has different politics than me. In fact, I don't take that into consideration at all. You have to find something sympathetic in a man. It's that common ground you need to connect with someone.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
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
The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It gets to the point where you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not. It's so true. I have to slow down soon.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Will this coffee get me an Oscar?
Leonardo DiCaprio
