My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.
Leonardo DiCaprio

I've gotten to play some pretty intense characters and I tend to think it's therapeutic for me.

If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
We actually did a lot of takes on this movie [J. Edgar Hoover]. I never left the set wanting more. That's for sure. I don't know. This was a very difficult character for me and a lot of the other actors here, and at times we went and did 8 or 9 or 10 takes on a single day.

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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes what they want is to see you fall.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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
Image
I'm never really conscious of saying, I'm going to take on a specific role to combat a certain image in the public eye. I think that's pretty manipulative and transparent to the public anyway.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I created my foundation as a result of that and my website, and I try to shed some light on some very topical issues right now. The idea is to try to get people to become obviously more knowledgeable about the issue and try to get corporations and individuals to contribute to these nonprofit organizations.

I know a lot of the intense moments in 'Titanic' were made that much easier and were pushed to even further limits because of that relationship.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
To put a lot of hard work and effort into a project or character and for it to be recognised, how can it not be nice?
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

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
Image
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
Image
Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.

I have never been a fashionista or someone who puts a lot of thought into what I wear, and I dress to be as comfortable as I possibly can.
