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.

At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.

I think everyone has some sort of connection to Gatsby as a character... he's created himself according to his own emotions and dreams and lifted himself by his bootstraps from a poor kid in the Midwest and created this image that is The Great Gatsby and it's a truly American story in that regard.

You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.

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 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.

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.

For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse.

It does feel like the middle ground has fallen out. I'm only saying that from personal experience, saying, I'd like to make that movie and hearing, Oh, they're not making those types of movies anymore.

If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay.

Image
I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.
Leonardo DiCaprio

The things that you did with parents, whether it was spending every Sunday morning with your dad and eating French toast and watching Popeye, or decorating the Christmas tree with our mother - these are memories that help you be happy.
Leonardo DiCaprio

I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

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
Image
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
Image
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.

A man's legacy is determined by how the story ends.

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

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

Obviously, we suppress things, emotions, things during the day - thoughts that we obviously haven't thought through enough, and in that state of sleep when our subconscious, or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures, and when we wake up we should pay attention to these things.
