More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
As we progress into the twenty-first century, anyone who considers themselves a realist will have to make the environment a top priority.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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
It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I have never been a fashionista or someone who puts a lot of thought into what I wear, and I dress to be as comfortable as I possibly can.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I created my foundation as a result of that and my website, and I try to shed some light on some very topical issues right now. The idea is to try to get people to become obviously more knowledgeable about the issue and try to get corporations and individuals to contribute to these nonprofit organizations.
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
There is no element of genius without some form of madness.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I like to prepare as much as possible beforehand, but there's definitely that element of fear when you're on set, and you have to be conscious of it and use that fear to drive you to work harder.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The Gatsby that I remember reading when I was 15 years old in junior high school was far different from the Gatsby I read as an adult.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It's very hard to impose your beliefs or a specific message about any given movie. I think that audiences always extract what they want from a film even if something isn't overtly political. They may or may not get it, and it's hard to control that.
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
[Success] always starts with the material it always starts with the truth and honesty of the characters that you read in the screenplay and that's rarely something that can be remedied if it's simply not there by the time you shoot the film. Thank God we had that.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand your gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm not really the quiet type, although some people think I am. But I'm the rebel type in the sense that I don't think I'm like everyone else. I try to be an individual.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don’t think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
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
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
At some point in your career, someone is going to tell you, This stove is hot. Do not touch this stove. And the weird thing is, you'll want to touch it. But resist that urge, man.
Leonardo DiCaprio
