School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I've changed. You can't help it. Your mind starts working in a different way. You feel really scrutinised by people.
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
Image
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!

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.

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.

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

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.

At first glance, you read something on the page and it can seem one way, and you can have your decisions before you wind up on set about what that set is supposed to mean, but until you're actually there doing them, there's really no way to understand it.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
I couldn't deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y'know?
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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
Image
I think sexiness in most people - and this is going to sound superficial - is definitely something you don't plan.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
The truth of the matter is this - I never look for films specifically, because ultimately if the fundamentals of the character and the script and the director aren't there, it makes it a moot point.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.

Image
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Image
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.

Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living.

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.
