More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I touched emotions I've never tapped in my entire life. I've heard people say, 'I hope this movie doesn't glamorise drugs.
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
I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.
Leonardo DiCaprio
That's an inspiration for all women to see a woman thinking and moving differently from those around her.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I like girls who are intelligent, somewhat funny, and pretty with a nice personality.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I'm still exploring in a lot of ways. I don't know myself completely.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.
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
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
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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
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
Leonardo DiCaprio
My dad has always been the bohemian.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Our planet's alarm is going off, and it is time to wake up and take action!
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 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
Some people don't get it when I'm being sarcastic.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
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
