I didnt know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I just want to keep doing what Im doing and hopefully people will watch my movies. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then Ive asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. Thats really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control peoples opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, thats the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up. – Leonardo DiCaprio
Ive never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. Its been a much slower process for me each time Ive gone into a relationship. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I prefer ordinary girls – you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesnt mean we are dating. – Leonardo DiCaprio
My dads probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger thats not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat. – Leonardo DiCaprio
Im not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, Im definitely an individual. – Leonardo DiCaprio
Ive managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera. – Leonardo DiCaprio
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it… Its a great outlet. Im not really sure who I am – it seems I change every day. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. Its hard to be alone. – Leonardo DiCaprio
My mother is a walking miracle. – Leonardo DiCaprio
My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand. – Leonardo DiCaprio
Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever. – Leonardo DiCaprio
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
