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
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.
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
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. As for myself, I'm not really sure who I am. I change every day.

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
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 urge individuals around the world to stand up, and ask local leaders, if they haven't already, to pledge to purchase cleaner cars, build green facilities, and buy green power like wind or solar energy. Our actions may determine if we become a casualty in the war for a habitable planet for generations to come.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My dad has always been the bohemian.
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
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
At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse.
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
Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I spent a long time in art school so I can really draw. I'll doodle and suddenly I'll find the beginning of the movie in one picture. Usually, I start my stuff on the telephone. Right by the telephone I've got a book of doodles. When I'm on the phone, I'll be doing a drawing eventually.
Leonardo DiCaprio
That's an inspiration for all women to see a woman thinking and moving differently from those around her.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I've gotten to play some pretty intense characters and I tend to think it's therapeutic for me.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I like girls who are intelligent, somewhat funny, and pretty with a nice personality.
