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.

If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
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

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.

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

I think the environmental movement is the biggest people's movement in the world. Unfortunately, our governments and corporations haven't responded accordingly to protect our planet's natural resources.

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
Image
I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something just for the sake of doing a specific genre or because it's the time or place to do a different type of movie. I think that would be a huge mistake.

To play a repressed gay man, I had to explore what life was like in an era of sexual repression.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I'm not a big dreamer. I never have been. I remember fragments of my dream, and I try to take a traditional sort of approach to researching this project and doing preparation for it.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
When I grew up, I lived in the ghettos of Hollywood it was the most disgusting place to be. I was known as the crazy little kid. I did impressions. Then I realized that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be a comedian to please other people.

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.

Image
I've changed. You can't help it. Your mind starts working in a different way. You feel really scrutinised by people.

I believe humankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.

As we progress into the twenty-first century, anyone who considers themselves a realist will have to make the environment a top priority.

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.

I've never known a situation in my career where a terrible script turned into a movie that was out of this world or was a success.

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

Image
It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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!
