I think actors make the mistake of finding their little niche in the business and once they try to do something a little darker, boom, they get slapped across the face for it, so they go back to what they did before.

More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I don't think there's a specific science you can put on dream psychology. I think that it's up to the, obviously, the individual.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It's amazing to completely focus on something for four, five or six months, have it completely consume your life and be constantly thinking about somebody else's set of circumstances and how they would react to something. I find it fascinating. It's rewarding and on a professional and personal level.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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
I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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!
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I've always kind of made sure to maintain the sense of who I am and never be mean or cruel or snotty to anyone. Because, at the end of the day, it's not going to help you last in the business, and who wants to be around someone like that? I don't want to turn into 'that guy.' That guy!
Leonardo DiCaprio
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
When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.
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
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
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
I'm still exploring in a lot of ways. I don't know myself completely.
Leonardo DiCaprio
