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

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.

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!

To put a lot of hard work and effort into a project or character and for it to be recognised, how can it not be nice?
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I touched emotions I've never tapped in my entire life. I've heard people say, 'I hope this movie doesn't glamorise drugs.

If you can unify the public mind saving an iconic species like the tiger, like they did with the panda, that means you have to protect their habitat and everything that they hunt. And that means saving massive, thousands of acres for them to be able to roam and breed. So it's more of a land effort.

That's an inspiration for all women to see a woman thinking and moving differently from those around her.

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

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.

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.

I don't think my parents would be shocked about anything I did, because they're so laid-back.
