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.'

As a little kid growing up in Hollywood, I was called 'a little crazy'. And now I guess I'm still that way.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

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

I lived in Hollywood and, ironically, I didn't know you could just go out and get an agent and go on auditions and try and become an actor, I thought it was like a Masonic thing, like a blood line you had to belong to – until I was 13. Then I realised what you had to do. It is the one thing I know I want to do for the rest of my life.

I don't see why I can't have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It's crazy.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.

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.

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
One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that.

Me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know its not some place you can look for because its not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something and if you find that moment, it lasts forever.
Leonardo DiCaprio

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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.

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

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.

I grew up in Hollywood but not in any rich neighborhood.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I've gotten to play some pretty intense characters and I tend to think it's therapeutic for me.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
The truth of the matter is this - I never look for films specifically, because ultimately if the fundamentals of the character and the script and the director aren't there, it makes it a moot point.
Leonardo DiCaprio

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