More quotes by 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 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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay.
Leonardo DiCaprio
It gets to the point where you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not. It's so true. I have to slow down soon.

We've been given this gift, our planet, and we've found no other place in the universe that we can inhabit. I want to do something to create radical change to help save it. It's our responsibility.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
There's so many intangible forces that come into play when making a film, I have no idea what the public will ultimately think of something that I do, let alone critics.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
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
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
I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My parents know I was outgoing as a child, and whenever people came over I'd automatically do impressions of them as soon as they left it was my mom's favorite thing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don’t think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it.
